Container Home Update and Sketch

Location: Jacksonville Beach, FL

Climate: warm, humid, near water, some rain 

Clients: My parents (Middle age couple)


Number of Containers: 6-8

5 words: Views, Daylight, Outdoor Spaces, Cozy, Clean

Setting: comfortable space for chill afternoons spent inside and mornings and peaceful evenings


For my inspirations so far, I decided that I want to make a container home as kind of a retirement home for my parents. They have always wanted to move to Florida, especially once my sister and I are out of the house, so creating something like that for them really interested me. They love the beach, so my entire childhood we took trips to beaches, to Florida and I know that they would love to be as close to the ocean as possible. For the location specifically, there is a beach we used to visit when we kids near Jacksonville, Florida that is a perfect location for my container home to be. There are many tall, bright colored beach houses and I think that adding another bright colored house would be perfect for this area. I think that I would like my container home to have multiple levels as well to match the surrounding houses and to ensure safety if for some reason there is flooding next to the ocean. I think I would like three floors or even two floors with a lofted area for my parents bedroom. I definitely want to give them a big deck and front porch if I can with the containers because they love being outside.

Sketching Interiors:

This week we learned how to freehand sketch and color trees and landscape in an elevation and plan view. This is very helpful because it is something that is relevant to our drawings and renders that we have to complete in the studio. Even though we can do it through technology, drawing landscapes for designs is important too! I really liked this assignment!

Week 7 BLOG: The Principles of Design Pt. 2

  Week 6 BLOG: The Principles of Design Pt. 2 This week in the principles of design pt. 2 lecture we talked about rhythm. Rhythm is the repetition, progression, transition or contrast in a space. Rhythm directs someone's attention around the space and enhances the overall impression of the room. Rhythm is often always needed to enhance an interior space. It can be applied to color, texture, shape or pattern and leads the eye throughout a room to enjoy every aspect of the design.  There are 5 main types of rhythm. Repetition, gradation, contrast, transition, and radiation. Repetition is when an object, shape, texture or color is repeated within an interior. It gives a feeling of predictability and stability to viewers. Gradation is the uniformly increasing or decreasing the size of objects in a room to lead a viewer throughout a space. The size could mean height or width of an object. Contrast is when one object is used right next to another object that is contrasted by color, ...

Principles of Design Pt. 1

Principles of Design Pt. 1 The Principles of Design support key concepts that designers must understand. These principles are rules/ guidelines / basics that help us create a functional and aesthetic space. The first three elements we looked at are balance, unity, and harmony.  Balance is critical to feeling a sense of equilibrium in space, even with visual weight. Line, Shape, color, and texture are events that help us see balance in a space. The three main types of balance are symmetrical (formal), asymmetrical (informal), and radial. Symmetry is one of the easiest forms of design. A space can be mirrored, identical, or duplicated to create this effect but could become boring. Asymmetrical balance still has visual weight, but it’s not exactly duplicated. However, it is dynamic and sometimes involves repetition of form + shape to create a spacious environment that makes your eye move around. Radial balance is the arrangement of elements around a central point. It has a sense of ...
