**Unit question: If you had one million dollars what would your room look like**

 * Pre-Unit exercise (if any)**

= INVESTIGATION =

===The current situation/problem: My room is quite messy that is because i do not have an easy or efficient way of putting my things away. This makes it unpleasant for me and my friend to be in, it also makes it harder for me to work.=== ===My room is quite small this is partly because i have to share it with my brother and partly because it was just made small, again this makes it unpleasant for me and my friends to be in it also makes it less comfortable for me to be in.===

The Design Specification: I Need:
A king sized bed A second story or a bigger room A work space Furniture such as sofas and armchairs A Bathroom A shower A Toilet Unit At least three plasma screen TV's

Positives = I like the way the couch and TVs are set up, i also like the way the upstairs are set up, although the jacuzzi seems a little randomly placed. It also has everything in my design specification except for the two recliners and two of the bumper cars.

Negatives = The basket ball court looks very much squeezed in and there is just a big open space right after the entrance

Decision = its an okay design though if my art skills were better it would be much better and it does not have a work space, also it is not well spaced out, so, i will not be using this design.

Positives = I like the way things are spaced in this drawing i also can see things much clearer and it has every thing in the design specification besides one of the sofa's

Negatives = My art skills are very good so once again it does not look that good, it does not have any color and it does not have one of the sofa's.

Decision = firstly i like this view better secondly it has more of the des ign specification Thirdly the spacing is much better, though it lacks color I think i will be using this design

= CREATE =







= = = EVALUATE = I am happy with my work. It had everything in my design specification, 2 Desks, a king sized bed, it had a bathroom with a shower and toilet, it had 4 plasma screen TVs and it had plenty of furniture it did not have a second story but it was bigger than my current room so I am happy with that. The only problem I had with it was that I did not copy my drawn design in making it instead I changed it quite a bit. The biggest change from my chosen design was that I chose not to have an upstairs I did this because the upstairs looked very empty and there was no way to fill it up without making it look too much like my bottom story. The only thing that I might complain about my dream bedroom is that the bathroom units look a little bit squeezed. The reason that I did not change this is because I liked the size of everything. Although I really liked my create there are a couple of things that in would of changed for example: I would have put a second story, I explained the problem of doing this earlier, but there is an easy way to fix this, I would move the second flat screen TV and the corner couch to the top story and I would put, the work station in the corner, into the upstairs as well. Now with more free space I would put a kitchen in, although I have two fridges it does not really make up for a kitchen. After this the only other thing I would change is that the bedroom is not enough of a bedroom, it has a wardrobe which would suffice but I would still like a couple shelves and maybe a chest of drawers. Although my room is not perfect it still fixes my initial problems for example with this room I would have multiple places to work, there would be more than enough space for my friends and me and the drawers in the desks along with the wardrobe gives me plenty of space to put my stuff. Over all I really like my design and would be more than happy to live a room like this. properly. || do my tests and design specification properly || my drawings || when creating my room || make sure everything is posted onto my wiki page more recently than i did || bedroom accessories || add more bedroom accessories || i recommended changes and compared it to the problems i had with my current room but i did not test it || make sure i have everything i need ||
