Habitat for Humanity Home


This semester, I had the privilege of designing a whole house for the Palouse Habitat for Humanity with one of my fellow classmates. I learned so much from this experience. It was very different having to not only create the interior walls, but also the exterior shape of the home. We also had to create a roof for the house, which was a very different experience. You not only have to figure out what will look good, but also keep in mind how the water will flow off the roof. I really enjoyed working with Palouse Habitat for Humanity. This project was the first time we were able to speak with an actual client and design a structure based on their requests, needs, and requirements. The house my teammate and I ended up designing was very open, but also allowed for private space. The color scheme reflects the surrounding natural area with warm and neutral colors. The materials are environmentally friendly yet affordable.
