I then drew up my model into a net shape and added tabs

I cut the shape and glued the model together

I then applied this technique to a 1:60 model of my room

Week 9 models

I really liked the design of my week 8 model so I decided to remodel it in balsa wood to see how the different materials would look compared to each other.
The balsa I bought came at 1.5x7.5x915 pieces which meant I had to bring the scale of my model down to accomodate to the narrow pieces.
I also added some basic furniture and a skylight above the bed.

The second model I made is quite abstract and although not very representational of a workspace, its a form that led me to me final design. I really liked how the angular shapes created different entrances and triangular 'windows' almost.

I rendered my materials to this model as they were all straight edges.

Week 8 model

I worked with cardboard and glue this week to create a more refined model. I worked at a smaller scale of 1:50 and enjoyed both this scale and the material. I added windows to the bottom floor, able to open and close to allow natural light in. I made the back window smaller and want to try adding a seat below in next weeks model. I also extended the slanted roof from the top floor out over the balcony to provide shade. The last modification was omitting the front walls from the top and bottom levels, allowing easy sight into the model. I think on my next model I may omit the right walls instead so that you can see where the main door would fit. I also want to try to neaten the balcony and add a balustrade to the staircase.

Fusion360 Initials Model

I had some difficulty lofting and making a shell in my initials shape. The corners of the S were initially too small and tight.

I then added materials to the shape;
