It doesn't really fit and still face north. I am also trying to build as affordably as possible and that means the simplest shape. It's a bit of a trade off for build more solar passively, i could build up for instance, and then not have any money left for things like solar hot water or grey water reuse or actually any money for anything at all. I want to keep the actual footprint as cheap to make as possible. It was a good suggestion though considering I hadn't posted that image yet. The patio material I haven't decided yet. It may be a timber or concrete patio, I'm not sure. But I was intending to have some sort of pergola that lets in the winter light and not the summer light. Like a solar pergola or vergola whatever they call them or simply a normal pergola with clear section at the right distance to let in the winter sun which I can cover with reflective material in summer. Something like that anyway. Thanks for the eaves tool as well! I had also thought of the door in the hallway and I will probably do that. As for the bir's. I think, and I could be wrong, that if I put the robes on those walls, it will cut off too much of the room to fit a double bed. Because the rooms are wider then they are long I don't think it's possible to put them along there and not make some long, narrow rooms which are usually a less practical space. So it would be a trade off between a double room and the occasional noise getting through I guess. Still something to consider though. Thanks so much for commenting! Really great ideas.
