Cardboard Prefabricated House Design Drawing

Currently, there is no directly available complete design drawing for cardboard prefabricated houses, but simple design and production can be carried out based on relevant descriptions. The following introduces from two aspects: design ideas and production steps:

Design Ideas

• Frame Design: First, conceive the overall shape of the house. A common simple house frame can be designed as a cuboid. Use a ruler to measure and mark the length, width, and height dimensions of the cuboid on the cardboard, and determine the positions of each face. For example, when designing a house frame that is 2 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and 2 meters high, draw two front and back faces that are 2 meters long and 2 meters wide, two left and right faces that are 1.5 meters long and 2 meters wide, and two top and bottom faces that are 2 meters long and 1.5 meters wide on the cardboard. At the same time, reserve positions for windows and doors. The windows can be designed as rectangles, with dimensions according to actual needs, such as 0.8 meters long and 0.6 meters wide; the door can be designed as 1 meter long and 0.8 meters wide.
• Roof Design: The roof can be triangular or sloped. If a triangular roof is chosen, two isosceles triangles need to be drawn on the cardboard. The base length of the triangles should be the same as the width of the house frame, and the height can be determined according to the overall style of the house, such as 0.5 meters. If a sloped roof is chosen, determine the angle and length of the slope to ensure it can cover the house frame.

Production Steps

• Cutting the Cardboard: Carefully cut out each part along the drawn solid lines using a utility knife. During the cutting process, pay attention to keeping the lines straight and the edges neat to avoid burrs or cutting errors. If a mistake is made in drawing, use correction fluid to modify it, and then cut again after the correction fluid dries.
• Making the Roof: For a triangular roof, after cutting, tear off a part of one layer of the cardboard to form a certain arc so that it can better fit the roof shape. For a sloped roof, it can be directly cut according to the design dimensions.
• Assembling: Use rice glue or hot-melt adhesive to assemble each part. First, assemble the house frame by pasting the front, back, left, right, top, and bottom faces in sequence to ensure a firm connection. Then install the roof by aligning the made roof with the top of the house frame and fixing it with glue. Finally, install the windows and doors. Reservations can be made at the positions of the windows and doors. Use small cardboard to make the frames of the windows and doors, then install transparent plastic sheets as window glass, and use small hinges and other connectors to install the doors on the frames so that they can be opened and closed.
