A 5-bedroom estate home that catches the breeze and holds the day

A 5-bedroom estate home that catches the breeze and holds the day. 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 elongated — a long, narrow plan suits deep plots and leaves room for a back garden or parking court. Cooling is limited (cross-ventilation score 1/5): 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 12 circuits; Roof can host about 59 kW of PV — sized to cover most household loads. Plan for 4 bathrooms serving roughly 8 occupants; large enough to support a soak-away; verify with a site soil test. Roof catchment could yield ~301 m³/year — size a 90 L storage tank for garden and WC use. On a minimum 544 m² plot (about 30 m × 17 m with NEMA-standard setbacks), the home covers 60% of the plot.
