A 1-bedroom bungalow that catches the breeze and holds the day

A 1-bedroom bungalow that catches the breeze and holds the day. The Living/Dining anchors the plan and opens to the rest of the home. Public rooms (Balcony, Balcony, Kitchen) sit at the front of the house; private rooms (Bathroom 1, Bathroom 2, Bedroom 1) are grouped away from the entry. Cooling is fair (cross-ventilation score 2/5): Sit the long facade north–south with the main openings east and west to capture prevailing breezes and avoid the low east/west sun. Limited glazing — add clerestory or high-level windows for daylight without heat gain. Electrical fit-out calls for a 40 A consumer unit with about 6 circuits; Roof can host about 12 kW of PV — sized to cover most household loads. Plan for 2 bathrooms serving roughly 2 occupants; suits a septic tank; municipal sewer is preferable if available. Roof catchment could yield ~63 m³/year — size a 19 L storage tank for garden and WC use. On a minimum 154 m² plot (about 13 m × 11 m with NEMA-standard setbacks), the home covers 40% of the plot. If you'd like a different layout, see the ResPlan 01456 — 2BR/1BA 111m² and ResPlan 01457 — 2BR/2BA 115m² in our catalogue.
