Pimp my Room

**Unit question: If I had a million dollars, what would my room look like?**
= = = INVESTIGATION = I have the following items in my room: The problem is my room is quite small, tiny and suffocating. I cannot fit all my clothes and personal items into my cupboard and have to keep many of my things in my sister’s room. There is little walking area. I have a small desk. It can get a bit messy as there isn’t a lot of room. My bed isn’t very comfortable. I can’t relax on the weekends because my room does not have the right things. I don’t have my own bathroom and so I share my sisters I would first have a bigger room which will create a bigger and better walking space. I would have a walk-in closet were I would keep my personal item and clothes. I will have my own bathroom and toilet and so on. A small room can cause me difficultly to move around which mean I can trip over. A small room can feel suffocating. It is difficult to have more than two people, possible one because my room is small. It will be messy with a lot of people.

 * A double bed
 * An AC
 * A working desk
 * 2 cupboards
 * A bedside table
 * A computer

I am going to make my room suitable for a million dollar teenager. I will research on the internet on what to put in my room e.g. famous art paintings, fish tanks, bathroom Jacuzzi and etc. I will then create my million dollar room in a CAD software. The following links gave me ideas of what to put in my room.

I will also tell 10 people to walk around my room and if it is easy my room is also big enough. If I can play with Nerf Guns and Air soft Guns with 10 people, then it is big enough.

= DESIGN =

[[image:Design No.1.jpg width="308" height="428"]]
This is my first design. It is a very plain. To plain for a million dollar room and for a million dollar teenager. It is big and spacey, it has a walking closet, has a desk, has a water bed, has my own bathroom, has a fridge, it doesn't have a guest house and doesn't have a lounge. It met's 6/8 of my specification.

Design 2
This is my second design. It is better than the first design but not much. Once a again to plain.It is big and spacey, it has a walking closet, has a desk, has a water bed, has my own bathroom, has a fridge, it doesn't have a guest house and doesn't have a lounge. Again, it met's 6/8 of my specification.

Design 3


I have chosen design 3 as my final design. Design 1 was too plain for a million dollar room, a fish tank, a Jacuzzi and that’s it, too plain. It was decent but not for a million dollar room. Design 2 was a different structure and it had a hamster house and a snake house, other than that it was same.Design 3 is big and spacey, it has a walking closet, has a desk, has a water bed, has my own bathroom, has a fridge, it doesn't have a guest house and doesn't have a lounge. It met's 8/8 of my specification. It also has a fish tank, hamster house, snake pit and a tortoise garden (the best animal to have in a room). The bathroom had a movable TV which the other didn't have, a movable TV can move meaning you can watch TV if you in the bath tub, Jacuzzi, shower or even if you’re brushing your teeth.

= PLAN = <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I have presented my plan in a flow chart and a gantt chart<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> in this following document. I presented my plan in a gantt chart and flow chart because I thought it was a good way to show and follow my plan. I am going to do my room in Sweet Home 3D. I chose Sweet Home 3D because I tested it, it is pretty plainand easy to use but you can import things from their website.

This is my Design. I took screen shot to show you my Create. My room is 26 metre by 20 metres (which includes the Lounge, Bedroom, Bathroom, Guestroom, Walking Closet, Garage). This is my room plan which has a Garage (Centre Bottom), Lounge (Right Up), Guestroom (Right Down), Bathroom (Left Up) and Walking Closet (Left Down).

My Garage has an airplane, a car and a Wardrobe (which you can’t see). My Bedroom which has a waterbed on top of a swimming pool, Computer, Photo frames and a pet area.

My Lounge has a Bar, Photo Frames, Fridge, Sofa.

My Lounge also has a huge TV with a DVD player, Sofa set, Table with drinks and food and two plants.

Here is a list of all things I downloaded from [] (Sweet Home 3D) and put them into my room. Note I have not put the file name because most the file names where different to what it actually was.
 * Butterfly Frame
 * Tiger Frame
 * Edited Frame (the frames with pictures were edited from the Tiger Frame)
 * Computer Screen
 * Dog House (used as a hamster house and tortoise garden)
 * Bowl of apples
 * DVD player
 * Keyboard
 * Airplane (found as a toy but used as a real Airplane and toy)
 * Bar stool
 * Tray
 * Red Wardrobe
 * Coloured Tissue Paper
 * Wine Glass
 * Wine Bottles
 * Bear Barrel
 * Shelf
 * Glass Table

I added a Garage into my room because I thought I was not thinking out of the box I mean I have a $ Million dollar, why not use it all (even though my room cost like $ 5-7 million, the plane itself is 2 million). I also added a wine bar instead of a snack bar because I felt like it. I would have loved it if i had a pool table but Sweet Home doesn't have one They also don't have a Jacuzzi so i just put a bigger hot tub. I found out how to change a picture of a frame and so I added more photo frames I followed the plan completely but I added the garage. I also replaced or took out few items in my room because Sweet Home didn't have them.

= EVALUATE =

I think I did a good job in this unit. My first step was my investigation in which I got a 5/6. I met most my objectives. The design also met all which were to create 2 designs. I created 3, compared them to the design specification and justified my choice. I got 5/6 in that one. My plan could have been improved a bit more. I did all the things I was supposed to do but got a 2/6, I made a gantt chart, flow chart and explained what software I am going to use. I did my Create well, I made a finish final product which was my room, stated the modifications, and almost completely followed the plan so I think I deserve a 4/6 or more.

I thought my product was good. I had a sleepover at my room and my friends loved it. They said my room was awesome especially when we went on a ride on my plane. They said that next time I should make my guest room bigger which I also agree on. We all agreed the best part was my Lounge because it was the most detailed room. It had a bar with so many glasses and wine bottles, it had a bear barrel, it had a cinema size TV, comfortable sofas and photo frames with me and my family. My pool was made out of a carpet because Sweet Home 3D didn't have a pool on their software and website. I loved my bar because I put effort and time into it to make it brilliant. The Photo Frames were also nice. My plane was a toy which I expanded and coloured to make it look beautiful and awesome. I think I could have made 2 floors to be more creative and have slide between them. I could have also had a snack bar with the wine bar. It would be cool if I had a Games Room with TV's, Play stations and computers. The product still met all the design specifications which where
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">I will triple the room size which will make it breathe able and spacey. Yes

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">I will have a lounge. Yes

Over all my product was success and so was the stages behind it which where investigate, design, plan.
