Athenian Floor Plan


The typical Athenian house had 2 main rooms and several smaller rooms built around a central courtyard. One main room was for dining and the other was for work. The courtyard was for landscaping.

Your assignment is to build a house floor plan, similar to that of ancient Athens, but updated to resemble a house in today's world.

Use symbols for doors, windows, sinks... as if you were looking down on the object. Look at the attached floor plan for drawing these objects.

DO NOT COPY THE ABOVE FLOOR PLAN!!!!

  2. I have no artistic skill either. A courtyard is a big outdoor space in the middle of your house. The rooms of your house should be set around your courtyard (2 large rooms, several smaller ones) Think about the kind of rooms in the house you're living in now, then make sure they're in your floorplan. Good Luck!
