If you want to design your own house, you can sketch the plan yourself. If you have a friend who knows how to use AutoCAD or a draftsman, you can ask him or her to draw the image you have in mind. However, it’s better if you have something concrete to look at before you hire constructors to build your house. But how do you do it yourself?
Step 1: Seek inspiration.
There are lots of house models from which you can get an inspiration. You can visit architectural scale model house displays websites or showrooms. For example, below is a house model you would want to look at and refer to before you build your own house model.
Step 2: Decide the scale.
The example model is a 100x80x40cm scale model. This step is important as the scale you use will be the basis for creating the real house.
Step 3: Buy materials.
If it’s your first time to build a house model, you need to buy all necessary materials. The usual materials used in building one are foam cores, cardboards, balsa wood, craft sticks, and card stock. You can also use natural materials like stones and twigs. You can use LED system for the lighting. For the lawn, you can use rubber grass or synthetic grass. You have all the freedom to choose which materials to use.
Step 4: Assemble the parts of the model.
A house model can be assembled and can be detached into different parts. This will make it easier for you to see the inside plan or floor plans of the different rooms of the house. Each interior and exterior features should be included– from the windows and doors to the bases and floors. The more details your model have, the better.
Conclusion
Making a model takes time. You need to be dedicated enough in order to finish it. If you want, you can ask advice or help from an expert.
