This cohesive house design juxtaposes two distinct living spaces separated by the kitchen hub, creating a two bedroom sustainable eco home for comfortable indoor-outdoor living.

A long rammed limestone spine wall extends from the front entry pivot door through the compact house plans to the first light filled interior living space. The rammed limestone wall provides a sense of solidity and strength but also provides pragmatic benefits of thermal mass for the thermally efficient eco home. The central gallery style hallway in the heart of the home with highlight windows connects the entry and juxtaposed living spaces. The hallway highlight windows generate an ever changing play of light throughout the day.

When correctly orientated on your site, the cut-outs in the plan shape with its raking ceilings ensure that this residence conforms to passive solar design principles with each living space having the potential for solar heat gain during the cooler winter months. The kitchen is the hub of the house that connects two generous open plan living areas which transform the eco home to indoor outdoor living through the 8 feet high clear annodised end-sliding doors. The sustainable design strategically locates the two living spaces by the kitchen for full exposure to the southern aspect. The memorable space relationships are efficiently planned to create compact house plans that can be built with either slab on ground construction or suspended timber floor incorporating a cost effective patented prefab footing system.
