There are some requirements that we need to know and follow before proceeding in designing our product.
– Building our model on a base board, in which the dimensions are 270mm x 270mm x 6mm
– The spacing of the columns of our product from the border of the base board should be at least 22mm apart
-The model should be of three stories heights, 4 horizontal floors
-The total area of the floor( not including the ground floor) should be in between 750 to 960 square feet, and also each floor should only have a area of 100 to 320 square feet
– Also we are being provided with the items that we need to use or rather the items that can only be used for creating the product, below is the list of material that we need to use

CONTINUING ON..
– For each floor of the product there should be a window(bracer) to simulate a real life situation where all the buildings have window
-the last requirement: Each floor( excluding ground floor) must be able to to hold 4 bricks: each measuring 60mm by 45mm by 3mm and also weighing 635 gram. This is to simulate the mass in a real building
With all these requirement, We start designing our product.
Fig 1.1
This figure shows all the 2d view of each part and also the measurement of the product of each floor according to the requirement as stated above.
Fig 1.2
This Figure shows a skeletal drawing of our product as to reference of what it should look like and also the height of the product to help us visualize what our product should be before proceeding on to modelling our product
