Photos and story by James Hill
PORTLAND, Ore. (Sept. 12, 2007) – If designing your dream home has been put on hold because of cost or time, now’s your chance to take those ideas and turn them into reality. This fall Portland Community College will offer a four-week, non-credit series that will put you in touch with a professional architect who can help get your dream house designs from your imagination onto paper.
The class, Design Your House with an Architect, will help students develop a set of preliminary plans for a residential project of their choice. Each class will include a lecture, slideshow and time for students to draw. Instructor Leslie Rosenberg will cover:
Creating Comfort: Planning within a Budget (Sept. 25)
Placing Your House on its Site (Oct. 2)
Refining Your Floor Plan (Oct. 9)
Special Features: Home Theaters, Kitchens and Master Baths (Oct. 16)
The four-week class will meet from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Tuesdays, Sept. 25 through Oct. 16, in Room 243 of Building 2, at the PCC Rock Creek Campus, 17705 N.W. Springville Road. Cost is $45. For more information, contact PCC Community Education at (503) 614-7308.
