The specific placement of a home Ranges from urban to suburban to rural May be categorized as seashore, mountain,
desert, and so on◦ These difference should reflect in how a house
looks. A house on the beach in California should look different than an house in the mountains of Montana or a house in Boyceville.
Location, location, location!!!
![Page 5: Housing: Refers to more than just a structural dwelling-it also includes all that is within the dwelling and all that surrounds it. ◦ Lifespace (aka.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032705/56649d935503460f94a7aa39/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Location is an important consideration in the selection of design, or construction of a home.◦ Materials used to build along with furnishings
used to decorate can be affected by the location of a house.

The choice of climate in which to live in automatically affects the choice of housing design.◦ A house built in northern WI should be designed
for comfort during cold winters with lots of snow. It needs enough insulation and a tight shell to keep the cold air out. The roof slope is important so snow doesn’t accumulate on the roof top. Amount of windows-heat loss
Climate

Homes designed for desert climates should have thick masonry walls to keep the high temperatures out of the house. These homes should have wide overhanging roofs to shade the walls and light colors to reduce heat buildup.
