Think in terms of where the sun will be shining, and how far you want them from toilets and kitchen and s***.

I think you should make the toilet the centre peice of the entire house. So the wonderfull smells that eminate from them can be spread around the house evenly.

No wait, thats what most people who build houses do.

Put rooms that you don't spend a lot of time on on the western side of the house, and bedrooms and s*** on the eastern side of the house.

Make as many bedrooms on corners as possible, so that the rooms get as much air flow as possible.

Toilets should be as removed as possible from everywhere. But the room should be wide, so you can get much spreading of the legs. You should be able to relax like the king of s*** in there. That room should be a throne.

Hmmm, houses are a compleatly subjective thing. Whatever you like is what you like. So how can you be wrong?

don't have your computer monitor facing the sun ever.... at abotu 7 am my computer monitor is invisible because the stupid sun shines right through teh crack between the blinds and the windowsill. I'd put duct tape over the gap but I don't want my parents thinking I'm trying to bottle myself in anymore then I am already.

If you want it architechually correct, for a single story house the bedrooms should be on the western side of the house where if its 2 story house the 2nd story is pretty much all the rooms.

What if you want upstaris to be living room and kitchens and downstairs as rooms? It wouldnt be very architechually correct then would it :p

As I said, your designing a house for yourself, if you like it, you cant go wrong.

first there should be a decent size moat ! not one of these namby-pamby 1metre wide gutters ... at least 3metres wide & deep with sharp spikes or piranha in it! Take care that the portcullis is heavy enough to completely crush a grown man's skeleton in a single drop & that there is adequate troughs for the blood to be slewed away effectively. Other than that ... 10metre high stone walls, murder holes, crenelated parapets & solid ramparts are all the rage i hear!

and then you get sun on the bedrooms all afternoon.

In queensland that is pretty stupid. In some houses the room is still hot while outside is quite cool after midnight.

face the bedrooms and living areas depending on location. never have the toilets near the kitchen or living area. there are a heap of "rules" but i cant remember them.

btw. toll is a knob. i cant imagine how uncomfortable your house would be!

My house would be the way I want it, not the way the 'rules' say.

Also sif I'd but the rooms on the bottom :p Sif my house would even be a rectangle shape. I'm going circular rooms and all sorts of crazy cool shiznits!

O, I didnt know autocad rendered too :/

I remember the Unreal Engine was getting licensed to do indoor rendering of buildings. It was used to model a possible space station and whatnot, I just thought it was part of that :/

I love designing houses. I plan my room, and plan where everything goes. Even my mp3z :) But thats because I'm organised and can see if its going to work, before I start moving the furniture.

sun rises from the east and settles on the west, so for a person, I would like the sun to not even touch my room. I do night shift and it pisses me off. Anyway, dont put a main bedroom near, sun, noise, road or garage.

usually I would put the garage next to the kitchen/louge because they make the most noise and people dont tend to use both a tthe same time. Ensuite for the main bedroom for a new house is a must, it tends to attract the newer couples knowing they can have their s*** laying around without the kids to f***ing slice each other apart with razors.

And with the toilet, I reckon a separate room, with tap is nessary, because if someone is having a shower, then someone else(whether its a guest or not) can use the toilet.

I dont know if people look for houses based on sexual advatanges but I dont tend to put bedrooms next to the main bedroom for the "Mum what was that banging last night, you were screaming, are you ok?"

Samll hallways are another no-no, I atleast want to be able to carry furiture down the hallway(if it has one) to not be rubbing it against the walls. about 1.5-2meters.

light switches, two to main rooms and 1 next to the door (150mm from door).

nothing like a beer on a patio. Even if its just a small one to make the front door look good.

laundary, I would put outside where you have to walk out too, not just enter from the house, because Mr Robber will try and enter from these, because the walls and floors usually make the room soundproof(so you can smash a window, and some people wont notice) [NOT THAT I'M GIVING HINTS]. The best part is next to the bathroom, because you can use the water, and keep the hot water system in close quaters and have the clothes line in a breezy area, especailly if in the shade.

how much detail this assignment need? I could go into power fittings and phone cables and also water lines... :P

Have a few rooms linked together without walls. My house has this, the kitchen, dining and tv-room are all in the one big space.

Its 2 metres, not meters

and a WC, not toilet : )

and that style is called "open plan" which rocks. lofts are the bomb. refurb an old warehouse, loft bedroom, bathroom, one room for the rest.

lots of glass and stainless steal.

make sure that each room has access to a window or some form of ventilation, and skylights, everyone loves skylights

my Dad draws house plans for a living (his own small business)

People come to him with designs for some really f***ed up s***box houses.. usually he can talk them into changing the design but sometimes they just don't listen.
