Teamwork: Finding growth in Habitat for Humanity home design 

Building and designing a house for Habitat for Humanity was an interesting experience. Trying to maximize usable space while still keeping aesthetic and likable design is a tough lesson many cannot fully comprehend. As a first time designer of Habitat for Humanity, I found the experience to be eye opening in space planning and flow of movement through a space. Finding appliances that work well, are energy sufficient, and are relatively inexpensive was another big challenge. I think that overall this design was done successfully in creating a space that a young, growing family can bond and bloom in an environment that promotes a healthy living lifestyle. Separating the parent's from the children's rooms was done to separate the family when time needs to be spent apart, while the bottom floor is equipped for family time and social gatherings.
