The poster should include / point out:

  • A floor plan of your future (futuristic) dream house: ground floor, first floor (second floor) and garden. Names of the rooms should be written in them.
    You can use floorplanner.com to help you plan your space if you like.
  • Images of what the various rooms will look like (3 pieces of furniture for each room included).
    You can use www.designfurniture.com.au to look for pieces of furniture to 'glue' into your rooms.
  • The eco friendly devices / installations in your house.
  • The location of your future (futuristic) dream house.
  • Three main rules to be followed in your future (futuristic) dream house.
