A well-zoned 2-bedroom bungalow with rooms that work hard

A well-zoned 2-bedroom bungalow with rooms that work hard. The Living/Dining anchors the plan and opens to the rest of the home. Public rooms (Balcony, Kitchen, Living/Dining) sit at the front of the house; private rooms (Bathroom 1, Bathroom 2, Bedroom 1) 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 fair (cross-ventilation score 2/5): 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 7 circuits; Roof can host about 8 kW of PV — sized to cover most household loads. Plan for 2 bathrooms serving roughly 4 occupants; suits a septic tank; municipal sewer is preferable if available. Modest yield of ~39 m³/year — a 2,000–5,000 L tank will cover garden irrigation. On a minimum 115 m² plot (about 14 m × 8 m with NEMA-standard setbacks), the home covers 36% of the plot.
