I am fond of floor plan drawing apps and have been using them for a while now, so I was very excited to begin drawing one for this project. Although I have created many of my own floor plans in the past, I have never been taught how to produce one in the correct way. This being my first time I thought I did a good job. I chose to use a 1:20 scale to keep my floor plan quite big. I chose to do this as it would be clearer on the page and I think it made it easier for me considering this was my first time.
Although it was easier to make the floor plan big, when it came to making my cardboard house I think that it would have been easier if I were to make it on a smaller scale. It may have been more complicated but I wouldn't of had to use as much cardboard, and it certainly would have been easier to store.
I chose different techniques throughout the making of my 'beach villa' such as sticking down the walls with tape and hot glue. I found that the hot glue was a lot neater for my house, however I was constantly changing the walls, so the tape became my preferred adhesive. I chose to change my house into being a beach villa rather than just a house in the same location that I am living currently. I have always be keen to travel and have always wished that my family owned a holiday home in another country. I chose Spain, specifically the island of Mallorca to be the location of my beach villa as it was where I used to go on holiday as a child and therefore has sentimental meaning to me.
