Sketches and Bubble Diagrams
These are the very first steps of my design process and helped me brainstorm and get a feel for how my house would turn out.

Location and Reflection
- If I could choose where to build this home, it would be in the spacious Irish countryside. I visited once when I was younger, and I was peaceful and inviting. Ireland is full of beautiful views and history that I would love to live near. The contrast of this home's modern concept and Irelands historic surroundings would make a nice balance for a living environment.
- I enjoyed the creative freedom that this project gave me. But, figuring out how to maximize space and stay within certain maximum sizes was challenging at times. Also, I was new to using some of the computer programs and they crashed multiple times during my design process, which added difficulties.
