A 3-bedroom bungalow that breathes with cross-ventilation

A 3-bedroom bungalow that breathes with cross-ventilation. You enter into Bedroom 2 before being drawn through to the Living/Dining — the day's gatherings naturally settle there. Public rooms (Kitchen, Living/Dining) sit at the front of the house; private rooms (Bathroom 1, Bathroom 2, Bathroom 3) are grouped away from the entry. The footprint is near-square — a compact plan that fits a tight plot and keeps plumbing walls together to reduce build cost. Cooling is good (cross-ventilation score 3/5): Sit the long facade north–south with the main openings east and west to capture prevailing breezes and avoid the low east/west sun. Glazing is generous — fit exterior shutters or deep eaves to manage solar gain. Electrical fit-out calls for a 40 A consumer unit with about 9 circuits; Roof can host about 7 kW of PV — sized to cover most household loads. Plan for 3 bathrooms serving roughly 5 occupants; suits a septic tank; municipal sewer is preferable if available. Modest yield of ~33 m³/year — a 2,000–5,000 L tank will cover garden irrigation. On a minimum 97 m² plot (about 9 m × 9 m with NEMA-standard setbacks), the home covers 33% of the plot.
