Habitat for humanity house

Description
The Affordable House Project is a Habitat For Humanity House Located in Noblesville, IN. A map is shown below. This house is for the Alex Poratta family. The family consists of one adult and no children. This house is a two bedroom home. I have incorporated the following sustainable design features: All water using appliances are in one area of the house . Mr. Poratta didn't ask for anything specific . As the architect, I had to stay within the Habitat for Humanity Guidelines, so I had to stay below 900 square feet for the house. This posed a special challenge to fit everything in. To do this, I chose a simple design, and incorporated some space saving features like many rooms in one, and a open floor plan. In the end, the client and I came up with a suitable design.
