Maxwell House

Autonomous House 1, which the Vales produced as a conceptual design in the 1970s and later built in the 1990s, is based on sustainable ideals. Brenda and Robert Vale collected data that resulted in the design, and later construction, of Autonomous House 1, which could accommodate a family of four. The structure occupies a one-acre plot of land and the most valuable features include its materials, which result in the structure being well-insulated through its building skin, having a low rate of…

Three weeks on intense apartment hunting, we found one that allowed children, was an amazing price, was in a good neighborhood, and it was furnished; meaning that it came with furniture. As a result of this, we didn’t have to hire a moving company. All we had was Blair’s toys and her type of furniture, so we just put it in the back of Antonio’s truck. The apartment was around 45 minutes away from the motel we were staying in, so I felt pretty safe that we would not wind up in the same area that…

Carved into the sides of cliffs in Mesa Verde National Park are what has come to be known as Cliff Dwellings. However, a more appropriate name would be cliff houses in a cliff village. The rooms range from small storage areas to entire communities of intertwined living spaces sometimes carved into the sides of cliffs. The Cliff Dwellings are believed to have been built by the Ancestral Puebloans (“Cliff Dwellings”), aka Anasazi and Pueblo Indians. This shift in the name of these people…

meaning that the law holds is that when buildings are constructed, they do not have to be in a state where an individual with a disability can move into them immediately. For instance, a house or apartment could be built where a person in a wheelchair cannot realistically move around in it. However, since the house has walls that are technically removable and doorways that can be widened, it is labeled adaptable. In fact, many home builders use the FHA Amendments to get around mandated ADA…

HOLIDAY HOUSES: CHOSEN PROPERTY TYPE- Designing a holiday house must contain a number of features to meet the need of a resident staying in the home. These features include a relaxing view to look at, large amounts of space and an activity provided (usually a pool) and a second story level. For this estate it has been decided that the holiday houses will be backed up onto the canal. This gives us an opportunity to take advantage of the view and have the house opening up to the view…

perfect day for what we had arranged over lunch in the playground. With our parent’s collaboration, it was that Summer Saturday which was to be the first of the many times I would go over to my friend’s house to play. But it was more than that, it was the first time either of us had been to another’s house, or had a friend over in his case. There was also something else that made this day special; I had received a gift around two months ago - for a certain holiday - and I was dying…

The Man Who Never looked back In the kitchen of this one story bright yellow house that was the fifth house in the sub-division. This man wearing rugged jeans with multiple holes in the knees of his jeans with a black AC/DC shirt on with black hair, and a stocky built. He never took crap from anyone except his brothers of course. His personality was always stubborn, and always a do it yourself kind of guy. He was a real man’s man if you could say so. He is only 5’10, but was still intimidating…

geological studies for about two and a half years. In my courses, we have explored the Earth’s crust and focused on various geological features of the world. All of these credentials make me qualified to present my observations for the best place for house construction for the local community. I feel as though presenting my outline for home-building on this mountainous terrain, and my knowledge of the movement of the land underneath the surface, will be valuable for local real estate and…

of a community because of its different immigrant and cultural groups that I befriended. Most of the families living there at the time were looking for an affordable and sometimes long- term residence, saving money until having the ability to buy a house. Despite moving eventually, living in the apartments impacted me greatly because it made me appreciate the diversity and community I encountered there. At the…
