I have updated your report google doc...
- at the beginning of your doc have pasted in a final structure for the report including a new table of contents

- do not copy the answers in the solutions on this website for the older years (i.e. 2008-2012) they are out of date

you should now have a model solution written in your A4 hardback copy for:
- Q.3's 2011 to 2016 and,
- Q.10's 2006 to 2016.
we are now finished both Q.3. and Q.10 - two of our five target questions.
you should be absolutely confident in your ability to do these questions now; if you are not, you need to talk to me about it.
I will be checking everyone's homework this week! I mean it this time!!!

- 35 minutes per question

finalise the design of your north, east, south & west elevations
email the final floor plan drawings to me: trevor.hickey@me.com, if you haven't already done so
consider using http://www.my.sketchup.com to model your house.

finalise the design of both your ground floor plan and your first floor plan
remember to:
- place main living spaces to the south side of the floor plans
- stack 'wet rooms' above/ below each other
- avoid placing noisy rooms beside quiet rooms
- follow the sun - bedrooms get early morning light from the east
- include space for the stairs (upstairs and down)
- consider including a 'double height space'
- avoid a plethora of bathrooms!
email the drawings to me: trevor.hickey@me.com, if you haven't already done so
