6. This house incorporates it outside space well using deck and to make the area feel spacious. The exterior design to this house is modern and incredibly cool. It uses an overhang well to provide shade for a table below it. The green colour of the moss roof is striking, as well as ecofriendly building material. This area looks stylish. It has a lot of furniture in it but still feels open and fresh. The use of light colours makes the room feel bigger. I will have a light colour scheme like this in my apartment design. This interior incorporates vibrant and attractive colours that I personally like. The contrast of lime green walls and the dark floor looks interesting and creates a contemporary style which I want to achieve in my design. This space uses full advantage of its height. Putting a bed on top of a living area is space efficient. The large windows allow a lot of natural light into the room. I would like to use large windows in my design.

The purpose of annotation is to support visual material and to explain the steps you are taking in proposing and exploring design solutions. ANNOATING IDEAS

Reflective: Is it a good idea? Does it fulfill the communication need? Meet the purpose? Appeal to the target audience? Show an understanding of design terminology. Make reference to design elements, principles, media, methods and materials and their intention . Brief, but still insightful and succinct. “Loft bed, maximizes space, helps meets brief”

10. This is my preferred layout. I think it makes good use of available space. I might flip the kitchen around so that the plumbing for the kitchen and bathroom are closer together. Examples of annotating ideas This layout is better proportioned. The living area is better placed, but I don’t like the way the front door leads into the dining room table area. The bedroom and bathroom placement is effective but I don’t think the living area works very well. The living area is too cramped
