Building our House
Step By Step Instructions:
When I say "Place" or "Put" I mean "tape on." First you tape four rectangles together in a rectangular form. Then you put two rectangles on each long side of the base. Place the rectangles on their long sides.
Afterwards put a rectangle on one end on its long side. Then place four rectangles on the roof horizontally so that their short sides touch the sides of the base. Afterwards, put two doors in the front so that their short sides touch the ground. Tape them so that they can bend back and forth.
After doing that, take a rectangle and place it so that it lies down in the northeast corner, making sure that its long side is parallel to the base. Take a separate rectangle and place it so that it is lying on its longside, connected to the last rectangle just laid in place. Put still another rectangle so that it connects to the previous rectangle and the base. Make sure that its longsides connect to the base and the previous rectangle.
Finally, take a two-dimensional square and connect it to the front of the structure thus far completed. Make sure that the square flinctions as a flap over one open end of a previously attached rectangle. This serves as the garage. After that, you must create a new shape. It is a triangle that has one right angle in a corner. On one side it measures three inches, another side measures three and one-half inches, while the third side measures one and three-fourths inches.
Attach this new shape to the northwest corner, positioning the right angle against the base. Three and one-half inches south of the first new shape, place a duplicate so that its right angle is also against the base.
After that, tape two two-dimensional rectangles together so that their two long sides are connected. Place these two taped rectangles perpendicular to the base. Make it connect to the new shapes just created so that the two taped rectangles serve as a roof. This is the greenhouse.
Design Specifications
Appearance
Our house has two big double doors. Behind that is a rectangular base. On one side is a garage with no back but a front flap. To the other side, there is a greenhouse, but it is connected to the house. The greenhouse has no constructed floor because it is natural dirt.

Our house was built for the hot and rainy climate of South Carolina in the United States. It is painted white. There are reasonably small windows, a flat roof so that the rainwater will help to cool the house and it is well-insulated

Design Specifications
Appearance (continued)
The shape of my house is multi-sided. It is formed from many rectangles and slopes.
The base is a rectangle. It has a flat roof and parallel sides which are equal in length, so it is a rectangle. Its doors are rectangles. The garage is also a rectangle. The greenhouse's roof is formed by two rectangles slanted at about a 30 degree angle. The greenhouse's side walls are made of a shape which I created. It has three sides and is kind of like a triangle, but with a right angle in it.
Climate
My house is made for a climate that is hot and rainy. My house is made of brick to insulate the inside from the heat. It has aluminum gutters to collect the excess water from rain. The only parts of the house that are not made of brick are the front door, the garage door and the roof to the greenhouse which are made of glass or wood.
Our house would be on Kiawah Island, South Carolina in the United States.
Design Layout
Shapes I used to make the house are rectangles, squares and a made-up shape that is like a triangle. It has three sides, but it has a right angle in it too. My house has 28 edges and 20 vertices.
To make my house, you have to have 16 rectangles, one square and two of the shapes I made up which have already been described.My house has twelve parallel faces.
Two special things about the house ar:e first, the doors are voice-activated to our voices, but we can open them from inside in case guests come and secondly, you can climb up on the greenhouse to get to roof for sunbathing and to see the view etc.
