HAWTHORNE HOUSE PROJECT
The Hawthorne Project is the project that was worked on throughout this course. Students are given an old 1927 house's floor plan and are told to recreate the floor plan using their skills in AutoCAD. This includes making a demolition plan, construction plan, elevations, and details.

The assignment above shows a demolition plan of a home built in 1927. The demolition is displayed in the removal of the walls between the dining room and den along with the demolition of all cabinets and appliances in the kitchen.

Hawthorne Demolition Plan
For this assignment, I was given a floor plan of a house built in 1927. I was instructed to recreate the whole floor plan along with making some demolition corrections. I was instructed to create a 12'-0" opening between the dining room and the den. I was also instructed to change my kitchen cabinets and appliances over to the demolition layer.
Hawthorne Construction Plan
The goals of this assignment were to remove anything in the demolition layer, create a new kitchen layout, and add furniture suggestions for the new layout. The removal of the demolition layer included opening the space between the den and dining room along with the removal off the kitchen appliances and cabinets. Since the kitchen cabinets and appliances were part of the demolition layer, I needed to construct new cabinets and appliances as part of the construction plan. Once all of these adjustments were made to the floor plan, I was to include the minimum of a dining table with chairs, sofas, chairs, end tables, and coffee tables.

Hawthorne Elevations
This assignment instructed me to take my dimensions from my newly constructed kitchen cabinetry and appliances and recreate the elevations from them. I was to begin by selecting a cabinetry of my choosing along with the knob/pull style that I wanted to use. This assignment also put my line weight skills to work through the dimension changes in the cabinetry. It was also suggested to use crown molding to the tops of the wall cabinets. Since the ceilings are 10'-0" tall, I chose to double stack wall cabinets to take advantage of the storage space. It can also be seen in the zoomed-in elevations that I chose to do a herringbone backsplash.
The pictures above show my three elevations for my new constructed kitchen cabinets and appliances from my construction plan. They show what the cabinets and appliances would look like if you were to stand in front of them. The top picture is the sheet for my elevations from my Plan Set, and the three bottom pictures are zoomed-in screenshots of each elevation.

Hawthorne Details
The goals of this assignment were to recreate four detail drawings. These four detail drawings consist of two base cabinets, one wall cabinet, and one wall type. These details use a minimum of three line weights to effectively portray the cabinets' details. I was also instructed to include the basic dimensions of the details along with detail section symbols. Lastly, I was to include specific details such as the type of countertops, cabinet materials and shelving in my details as these factors contribute to the pricing of the cabinets.

Hatching
The purpose of this assignment was to introduce students to working with a variety of the drawing and modifying tools in AutoCAD. Students were instructed to create a unique and complex design. Students were instructed to begin by creating the complex design on the zero-layer using any draw tools. Students were to include a minimum of five unique layers and utilize five unique hatch patterns. This assignment was to be printed in color.
