Building our House
Step By Step Instructions:
This house should be built in cold and snowy climate.
We used these kind of shapes: thirteen triangles, ten squares, twenty-four tiles, and one pentagon.
The Roof. Made out of five triangles. It's made like a mountain so that the snow will slide down the roof. Very thick (six layers of wall) so that the snow is not too heavy for the roof.
The Walls.Made out of 10 squares which from the top you can see it as a pentagon. Made out of six layers of wall (one wall= A4 paper wide). Some windows on which has three layer of glasses [.........] this thick.
Light Made out of eight triangles. It's made so that when it's dark it tells your way and make the snow met by the heat. It has see through cover on so that the snot doesn't go in it and break it.
Inside. In every side of walls in the rooms, there are heaters to warm you and three rooms and a control room so that you can turn the light on and off.

The house looks like a windmail without the sails and is designed for cold and snowy climates. It could be located in Antarctica.

Design Specifications
Appearance
Our home looks like a windmill without the sails. But instead it has a light that looks like a duck's beak. The shape of the entire house will be a pentagonal prism, the roof is a pentagonal pyramid, the base is a pentagon and the lights are an open trinagular prism.
Climate
Our house is designed for cold and snowy climates. It has six layers of walls which keeps the cold out.There are two lights on the side of the house which shows the way even if it is dark. Our house could be built in Antarctica.
Design Layout
In our house, we used 11 triangles, one pentagon and 10 squares. There are 16 edges and 17 vertices. The front and the back and the two sides are parallel faces.
