Fantasy Homes


You have been commissioned to plan a new dream house.  Your client is Harry Potter. Your client is the Prime Minister. Your client is an alien hamster. What does their new house look like? Is it made of wire, wood, candy or balloons? Does it have any special features: high tech hubs, indoor gardens or play zones? Here's some of the blueprints the student architects at Clinton Street Public School came up with in the Invention Squad planning workshop.



This design workshop asked the participants to consider how functionality relates to space, shape and layout. Who is using this space and what do they need to do in it? How big does everything need to be? How do people move around in the space?
