A 3-bedroom residence that breathes with cross-ventilation

A 3-bedroom residence that breathes with cross-ventilation. You enter into Bedroom 1 before being drawn through to the Living/Dining — the day's gatherings naturally settle there. Public rooms (Kitchen, Living/Dining) 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 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 11 circuits; Roof can host about 40 kW of PV — sized to cover most household loads. Plan for 5 bathrooms serving roughly 5 occupants; large enough to support a soak-away; verify with a site soil test. Roof catchment could yield ~206 m³/year — size a 61 L storage tank for garden and WC use. On a minimum 393 m² plot (about 24 m × 16 m with NEMA-standard setbacks), the home covers 58% of the plot. If you'd like a different layout, see the ResPlan 00003 — 3BR/3BA 155m² and ResPlan 00005 — 2BR/2BA 88m² in our catalogue.
