The Dream Home

The Dream Home

<p> The Dream Room/Home Welcome to the real world!! You are about to embark on a journey filled with real life experience. The Bhandari Design Company (BDC) has just contacted us and they need room designs!! The BDC is running short of fresh and creative Dream Room/Home designs in Calgary. Many citizens are in dire need of new types of rooms to live in, and they have chosen the grade 5 students from Dr. George Stanley School to design and create new and innovative rooms/homes. I hope you are ready for this exciting adventure. Here is your task: You are to design a “Dream Room” based on your own home layout, a plan from another home, a plan provided from other homes in the city, or your own personal plan you have thought up. The following is a list of all the essential parts to be developed and eventually handed in. Part A – Designing the room/home (The Architectural Phase) 1. Using graph paper provided, make a simple room/home plan, drawn to scale. (metric) Part B – Decorating the room/home (The Interior Design Phase) 1. Show the placement of the furniture in the floor plan for your room/home. The furniture must be drawn to scale and based on actual measurements. 2. Determine the amount and cost of the following for your room/home: a. Flooring (tile, carpet, Linoleum, Hardwood, etc) b. Wall covering (paint or Wallpaper) c. Trim/finishing (baseboards, crown mouldings, doors, lighting and taps, etc) d. Cabinets/Countertops (bathroom or kitchen) e. Furniture (kitchen, bedrooms, living/family rooms, etc) Part C – Building a Scale Model (The Contractor Phase) 1. Once the room plan is complete with all relevant measurement and costs, you will build a scale model of the room or house Part D – Presenting the Home (The Selling Phase) 1. Once the plan and model is complete, your job is to present the room/home design 2. Once it is presented, a member of the BDC will evaluate your product What to hand in and what it should look like: 1. _____ Title Page 2. _____The room design on cm grid paper and labelled appropriately 3. _____Scale which is clearly written on all documents 4. _____Each page is appropriately titled and labelled 5. _____Appropriate use of color and underlining to help illustrate your work 6. _____Showing how all calculations were made and overall costs: _____flooring _____wall coverings _____trim/finishing, _____cabinets _____furnishing _____Cost with GST _____neat _____organized _____Title page _____Self-evaluation Suggested Schedule for the Dream Room/Home Project Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 -brainstorm room ideas & math -daily quizzes -add furniture (drawn and costs) concepts -calculating baseboard lengths -add cabinets (drawn and costs) -complete scale drawing (perimeter), flooring (area), -add countertops (drawn and costs) -Weekly quizzes wall coverings (Surface Area) -add doors, lighting and plumbing -accurate measurement -calculating cost of flooring, fixtures (costs) -understanding ratio to convert walls, baseboards -add all costs together to get a final measurements -calculating tax price -scale drawings -Furniture research -begin 3-D model </p><p>Math concepts/vocabulary that will be evaluated and understood in this project: - measurement (units of) - distance - 2D polygons - dimensions - volume - 3D shapes - scale - mass - symmetry - area - depth - angles - perimeter - operations (+, -, x, ÷) - budgeting - diameter - percentage - money - length - fractions - estimation - width - ratios - height - decimals</p><p>Considerable class time will be assigned for the students to work through this project. However, parents and students should note that it is the expectation that some of the project MAY require work to be completed at home. An example and rubric will be presented, discussed and included for all students to use. </p><p>Parents signature: ______Students signature: ______Due Date: ______Part A – Design of a Room (Example) Scale: 3 cm = 1 m 5 m</p><p>Wall B</p><p>Nightstand This drawing will be completed on the large grid paper. You may Dr add more information ess er Wall A Bed from Part B on this 3 m plan, as long as it is neat, organized and clearly labelled.</p><p>Height of room =3 m Door</p><p>Decorating the Home Part B Furnishings (list of furnishings and dimensions) a. Nightstand 67 cm x 67 cm b. Bed 1 m x 2 m c. Dresser 67 cm x 2 m Flooring: Area = Length x Width = 3 m x 5 m = 15 m Carpet (Home Depot) $5/square foot(ft2), macaroni plush I need to calculate it into square meters so there are approximately 11 ft2 in 1 m2. Therefore… $5/ ft2 x 11 ft2 = $55 per m2. If there are 15 m in the room then 15 x 55 = $825.00. The carpet would cost $825.00 Wall covering – Surface Area (SA) = area of each wall added together Wall A: SA = 3 x 3 = 9 m2. There are two walls the same so 9 x 2 = 18 m2 Wall B: SA = 3 x 5 = 15 m2 there are two walls the same so 15 x 2 = 30 m2 Total SA = all walls added together 30m2 + 18m2 = 48 m2 Paint $40/gallon (Home Depot Hunting Red). One Gallon covers 400 ft2. How many m2 in 400 ft2? 400 ft2 divided by 11 ft2/m2 = 36 m2. One gallon of paint covers 36 m2. I need 48 m2 of coverage, Therefore, I need 2 gallons of paint. 2 gallons x $40.00/gallon = $80.00 Trim – Baseboards – Perimeter (P) = total distance around the room Perimeter: P = Length of Wall A + Wall A + Wall B + Wall B = 5+5+3+3 = 16m Baseboard (Home Depot) is $ 0.75 / linear foot. There are 3.25 feet in one meter … .75 x 3.25 = about $2.40/meter Therefore, I need 16 meters x $2.40/meter = $38.40 for the baseboard Door (Home depot 6 panel, 30cm x 80cm) = $43.69 Furniture cost – all found at Ikea Bed – Frame: Hemnes Queen Frame (200cm x 165cm) $339.00 Mattress: Sutan Engenes Queen $699.00 Dresser: Malm Dresser black/brown (160cm x 48cm) $229.00 Nightstand: Leksvik Bedside table (43cm x 33cm) $99.00 Total Cost of all Furniture: $339 + $699 + $229 + $99 = $1366.00 Overall total cost of room = $825 (carpet) + $80 (paint) + $43.69 (trim) + $1366 (Furniture) = $2314.69 Plus GST $2314.69 x 5% = $2314.69 x .05 = $115.73 $2314.69 + $115.73 = $2430.42</p>
