Final Project Interior Design
Client Background-You are to design the interior of a pre-designed home. The occupants will be a deserving
family from Habitat for Humanity. See link for floor plans
 Your goal is to determine who the house is to be built for and to plan the interior design to suit their
personality and life style. Consider their marital status- single, married, kids, no kids, retired, etc.

Location- Decide where the house is to be located- rural or suburbs, city, etc. Also indicate if it is in this
area or another part of the country.

Lifestyle/ClientDescription- Why do they need a habitat home? What is the situation that makes it a
hardship to own a home? What is the lifestyle of the inhabitants- their home should reflect their
interests, hobbies, etc.
Curb side view and floor planReproduce one of the floor plans from Habitat for Humanity. Plan an interior design that will best fit the needs
of the family. You will also draw the curbside view or front of the home. Color with colored pencils your
finished work.

of cutting out and placing.

grammar and punctuation errors.
