A liveable 3-bedroom residence that respects how families really move

A liveable 3-bedroom residence that respects how families really move. You enter into Bedroom 2 before being drawn through to the Living/Dining — the day's gatherings naturally settle there. Public rooms (Balcony, Balcony, Balcony) 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 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. Glazing is balanced — pair with 600–900 mm eaves for shading. Electrical fit-out calls for a 40 A consumer unit with about 10 circuits; Roof can host about 50 kW of PV — sized to cover most household loads. Plan for 4 bathrooms serving roughly 5 occupants; sized for either septic or municipal sewer — choose by plot location. Roof catchment could yield ~257 m³/year — size a 77 L storage tank for garden and WC use. On a minimum 467 m² plot (about 22 m × 20 m with NEMA-standard setbacks), the home covers 34% of the plot.
