Would need to know lot size and house size. Ideally don’t have west window or add another for cross breeze. My kids rooms face west with a narrow window on west and another window. Insulation is a key

Thanks Kate

This is a 12.5*32 and house size would be around 25.5

Just a few. 25.5 squares is approx 236 square metres.

.

Shrub in front of window will shade from sun

So the street is to the east?

And the master bedroom will be at the western end and you can't put the window on the north, which is ideal, or the south?

External shade is important.

Ya I think the window placement is the key .

I'll need to discuss these options

Thanks a lot for your inputa

So you can avoid having a west facing window?

I'm not sure , obviously I'll need. To have some sort of ventilation. I'll put this up to builder and see what he says .

Have the window on the north or south wall.

I am not asking if you need a window in the master bedroom.

This is what I asked.

So the street is to the east?

And the master bedroom will be at the western end and you can't put the window on the north, which is ideal, or the south?

I cannot imagine the bedroom at the back having only one external wall, but perhaps I am imagining it incorrectly. What I wondered is why can't you put the window on the north or south instead of the west?

Can you explain more please.

I will add the question, if you have a builder does that mean you have a floorplan already?

Hi I'm looking at couple of plans ,but my initial question is more towards ..how hot it would get during Melbourne summers .

Some of my friends said that their rear end of the home gets really hot from afternoon.

So that's one thing to consider and in terms of windows placement I think I'll need to look at the bed position and talk to the builder .

North sun is good so thats be my pick .

Look at a house with eaves to shade a little. Then look at the ability grow plant to provide shade. Why note have master at front?

Eaves, external shade from plants and/or structures, using the north, and protecting from the other directions, is important in making a house comfortable in summer and winter, and making it cheaper to run.

That is not a bad plan but it is not as good as it could be. If the block is the right shape for that house, you can have a better house in a similar footprint. For example it is a shame the garage wastes the northern side.
