AutoCad and Revit Project: Dream Home Design

I have always loved designing houses starting when I was a kid playing SIMs. I can't say why it took until these classes to realize what I wanted to do in the future, but this was the turning point. I took my second AutoCAD class and Revit at the same time with the same teacher, so combined the final projects to be able to create something more involved. This is my dream home design. First made in Autocad then put into revit to build the walls more quickly.

From the sky rendering of the final lot design in Revit

This is the first floor plan made in autocad

this is the second floor plan made in AutoCAD

The above 4 images are zoomed in floor plans for the first and second floor of the main house on the top and the two floors of the garage/mother-in-law suite on the bottom. Its easier to see dimensions and annotations in this form

This is the site plan in AutoCAD the plot shape and size where made at random

This is the Site plan view from Revit with an imaginary toposurface. I put this in just so I could learn the tools and have a landscape for rendered images

I did not design a small house. This is a dream home, it did not need to be realistically in my budget

these are the totals for each floor:

Main House Totals:
1st floor: 2,408 SF
2nd floor: 1865 SF
Decks: 1,168 SF

Garage:
Ground floor: Studio = 213 SF + garage space = 1151 SF
Mother-in-law apartment: 629 SF

(Room Schedule was made in Revit)

These are examples of blocks, some of them dynamic like the tub, that I made for the AutoCAD part of the project. making blocks was a significant part of the Second AutoCAD class

This is an video of the outside of the main house Generated in Revit showing the front and the back. MY computer could not render more then the black and white line display

This is an inside walkthrough generated in REVIT, again in black and white line style due to computer constraints

This is a very short fully rendered video of the garage its all my computer managed to do

This is a rendering of the view from entering the front door. I love open concept and exposed beams, In a more realistic version of this house it would be a smaller room, but this size gives quite a bit of room for entertaining and a large kitchen.

These Are the top and bottom view of the spiral stair case. I love spiral stairs for their look and compactness as long as there is another set of stairs in the house for carrying larger things to the upper floor

here is the main room of the over garage mother-in-law suite

I grew up not putting cars in the garage, but with space for two cars and a rv I thought I might put one in there

this is the studio that is on the side of the garage. Ceramics are messy, so needed their own room
