The document discusses the design of a Habitat for Humanity home for the McAllister family by interior design students. The family consists of Grandma McAllister who has Alzheimer's, parents Mr. and Mrs. McAllister, and daughters Sarah and Laura. The design incorporates the needs of the family such as private bedrooms, an open floor plan, and a backyard. The 'Nature Takes its Course' concept guides an open, flowing layout that mimics a river. Journal entries from Mrs. McAllister describe the family and design process, including energy efficient features to be incorporated.
In the Spring Semester the Interior Design Sophomore Studio , College of Human Ecology , East Carolina University took on the challenge of designing houses that are sustainable and more varied than plans that might have been generated to date. This is in keeping with the University's committment to be a leader in engaged scholarship as well as community service. The students were excited that their work would be put to use. So what we offer here are 18 new plans for Habitat Houses that can be used by anyone who might profit from the student work.
Each house has an imaginary family that the student designers kept in mind in view of the design profession that they will soon join is a service profession: there will be clients for all of the projects that these students will design as practicing interior designers. While these families are fictional , essentially placemarkers in the process of learning to design for others you are welcome to substitute your family, friends or members of the community for the prototype client and use the organizational or program drawings, the plans, elevations and sections and scchedules to extend the student work. We are at the end of our semester so we dedicate our efforts to your use.

"Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey Toward Sustainability"
The booklet of my master’s thesis at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. (Gothenburg, Sweden)
This thesis explores the transformation of the vacated (2023) IKEA store in Kållered, Sweden, into a "Reuse Hub" addressing various user types. The project aims to create a model for circular and sustainable economic practices that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction, and a shift in societal overconsumption patterns.
Reuse, though crucial in the circular economy, is one of the least studied areas. Most materials with reuse potential, especially in the construction sector, are recycled (downcycled), causing a greater loss of resources and energy. My project addresses barriers to reuse, such as difficult access to materials, storage, and logistics issues.
Aims:
• Enhancing Access to Reclaimed Materials: Creating a hub for reclaimed construction materials for both institutional and individual needs.
• Promoting Circular Economy: Showcasing the potential and variety of reusable materials and how they can drive a circular economy.
• Fostering Community Engagement: Developing spaces for social interaction around reuse-focused stores and workshops.
• Raising Awareness: Transforming a former consumerist symbol into a center for circular practices.
Highlights:
• The project emphasizes cross-sector collaboration with producers and wholesalers to repurpose surplus materials before they enter the recycling phase.
• This project can serve as a prototype for reusing many idle commercial buildings in different scales and sizes.
• The findings indicate that transforming large vacant properties can support sustainable practices and present an economically attractive business model with high social returns at the same time.
• It highlights the potential of how sustainable practices in the construction sector can drive societal change.

8. Journal: Week 1 {apply for a Habitat Home}
Grandpa McAllister passed away, leaving Grandma McAllister living
by herself
Grandma McAllister was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 6 years ago,
can’t live alone so she came to live with her son and his family
Mr. McAllister lost his job a few months after Grandma McAllister
moved in with us; his is the only family income
Our home was foreclosed, as we could no longer afford it
Applied for and got accepted for a Habitat Home
Aspects that should be included in our new home:
A bedroom for Grandma McAllister
Sarah and Laura in their own rooms
Backyard
Open floor plan for entertaining and spending time together as a
family
9. Journal: Week 2 {needs and wants}
Different aspects need to be part of the design in order to
accommodate our family’s fairly new living arrangements
Grandma McAllister’s bedroom should be located close to the
Master Bedroom
The children’s rooms should be near each other, as well as near the
Master Bedroom
The rest of the house needs to be in an open floor plan to
accommodate entertaining and spending time together as a
family.
Would like for our new home to reflect that we are a close knit
family, as well as be a place for us to enjoy living and starting
10. Journal: Week 3 {design concept}
We were presented the design concept this week, which is
titled ‘Nature Takes its Course’.
As a family, we have always loved spending time
together outdoors, whether it be on a summer afternoon
in the backyard or on a family vacation camping at the
lake.
My husband and I loved traveling and spending time
outdoors before we had children, and now that we have
Sara and Laura, we love going on family picnics in the
park and enjoying the gift of nature as well. Each of us
immediately connected in our own way to the design
concept.
Always, Mrs. McAllister
11. Journal: Week 4 {Sara and Laura’s hobbies}
Sarah and Laura, are ages 7 and 9.
The girls, although very close to each other, could not have more
opposite personalities.
Sarah is a very outdoorsy child, loves spending time in nature,
learning about wildlife, camping, and rock climbing.
Laura is a very girly girl who loves fashion, dressing up, and playing
with her dolls. Getting her hands dirty is definitely not one of her
favorite things; however, she does love playing outside with her sister
during the warm weather months.
They love to have picnics together, play pretend, and even go
swimming. Laura, the older sister, looks after Sarah when she goes on
her adventures, making sure she doesn’t get into any trouble. Laura
loves playing dress up and putting Sarah’s hair in a silly looking up-
do, and even though Sarah would rather be outside catching butterflies,
they play well together and love to spend time together as sisters.
Always, Mrs. McAllister
12. Journal: Week 5 {ramp}
In order to design our house universally and for
guests with disabilities, the exterior section
includes a ramp that leads up to the porch on the
south facing side of the house.
The beginning of the ramp is next to a second
entrance/exit to our home, so there is more than
one way to get into and exit the home and go to
the driveway.
If need be and a guest that is handicapped visits
us, the ramp leads up to the porch where the
front entrance of the house is located.
13. Journal: Week 6 {open concept}
Another aspect that is being included in the
design of our new home as far as the open
design plan goes is an open living room,
dining room, and kitchen.
I can be in the kitchen and see the children in
the living room, or if we have guests over and
are eating in the dining room, we can still
converse with other guests that are in the
living room.
Great to have the type of space that we need in
order to entertain and spend quality time
14. Journal: Week 7 {design development}
The model of our home exhibits the needs our family has.
The layout has private bedrooms on one side of the house,
while the public spaces are open and connected on the other
side of the house.
Grandma McAllister will have her own bedroom and
bathroom
The girls get their own rooms, right next to each other
The Master Bedroom and bathroom design offers us a
private space to relax
The design is very simple and classic; a ranch style home,
it will serve the purposes that our family has requested. I
can really see how the ‘nature takes its course’ concept is
being applied to the design of our home through the open
concept and flowing pathways that connect each room, via
15. Journal: Week 8 {energy efficiency}
Our building contractor recently introduced us to some ideas on
how to keep our home energy efficient, as well as in our small
budget. A few of these ideas include:
Dormers
Sealing the shell of the home to prevent air infiltration or
exfiltration; Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs
Energy Star rated dishwasher and refrigerator in order to decrease
energy use
A tank less water heater
Keep shady landscaping around our home to
Using compact fluorescent bulbs to save on the electricity bill
Each of these energy saving tips will be great to include in the
construction of our home in order to reduce our future energy bills
Always, Mrs. McAllister
16. ‘Nature takes it’s Course’
as a design concept
portrays the McAllister
family’s love of
spending time together
outdoors, as well as
provides a basis for an
open, flowing floor plan
to mimic the fluid path of
a river.
