Design Project Scope

3 Resolve

• List the spaces and requirements of each separately in two columns. Sketch on butter paper or similar the relationships required in a potato or bubble diagram. Refer to New_Home_Planning
• Reason, why you are making the design decisions that you do and note them down as margin notes beside the columns.
• Develop the requirements, sizes of each room in relation to and over the top of the measured draft, trying to incorporate as much of the existing as possible. Use standard drafting techniques to produce the sketch plan. During this design development start exploring appropriate colours and finishes for your scheme or theme.

• If you determine it necessary to demonstrate concepts, provide a wow factor, or you want to provide a 3 dimensional explanation of the relationships, draw either in freehand or a measured single point perspective. For larger projects allow time as the resource is time consuming.
• List each room and in separate columns. The walls, floor, ceiling, doors, trim, skirtings, hardware, light fittings and electrical switches and sockets, soft furnishings and furniture. Determine the type of finish, covering, hardware, light fitting, colours and textures by finding the predominant colour, texture, finish appropriate to your scheme and list in the schedule.
