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

A 1-bedroom bungalow that catches the breeze and holds the day. You enter into Kitchen before being drawn through to the Living/Dining — the day's gatherings naturally settle there. Public rooms (Balcony, Kitchen, Living/Dining) sit at the front of the house; private rooms (Bathroom 1, Bathroom 2, Bedroom 1) are grouped away from the entry. 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 balanced — pair with 600–900 mm eaves for shading. Electrical fit-out calls for a 40 A consumer unit with about 6 circuits; Roof can host about 15 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 ~77 m³/year — size a 23 L storage tank for garden and WC use. On a minimum 180 m² plot (about 15 m × 11 m with NEMA-standard setbacks), the home covers 40% of the plot. If you'd like a different layout, see the ResPlan 00006 — 2BR/2BA 239m² and ResPlan 00005 — 2BR/2BA 88m² in our catalogue.
