Designing Spaces

by Jules & Yoo Sung










Building our House

Step By Step Instructions:

1. You need to build the ground floor first with good quality tiles.

2. After you have build the ground floor you put on walls at all sides, also one in the middle of the room and one across.

3. After you did that, you put the roof on. On top of the roof you halfway at the back put four more walls and leave that big space as a big room.

4. Then you put the roof on.

5.The balcony is the leftover space on the first floor. There needs to be good rails on the balcony sides. The entrance is under the balcony on the ground floor. Windows are scattered here and there. Paint the house white.
