Habitat For Humanity

As a group project I was able to help with the design of a Habitat for Humanity House that is located in Tiempo Commons Moscow, Idaho. By using inspirations from the Palouse area we came up with the idea of growth to include in our design of the house. Being part of a group project is a great opportunity to work on teamwork skills; it is also a way to collaborate all different ideas from each member. Our most successful part of this project was working together to design a family oriented floor plan for a two story house. We were able to design an open floor plan with a large family room where family time and bonding can occur. In our floor plan we would have liked to change our dining room so it was larger for family dinners. To develop our floor plan each member in our group made an individual floor plan and annotated what they thought was important for the house, we then got together and were able to discuss all our ideas to put them together and create our plan. My biggest improvement from this project was teamwork skills meaning I was able to listen to others ideas and combine them with my own by working together. I enjoyed being in my group because our main strength was working with each other and agreeing on many aspects for our house design but we did lack in our time management because we have completely different schedule. As a group we worked hard to design a plan that worked with all requirements that Habitat for Humanity has to make a home for a low income family, we also made the interior of the house very aesthetically pleasing with sustainable materials. I enjoyed and learned a lot from working on this project with my group members and Habitat for Humanity.
