A 1-bedroom residence that breathes with cross-ventilation

A 1-bedroom residence that breathes with cross-ventilation. You enter into Kitchen before being drawn through to the Living/Dining — the day's gatherings naturally settle there. Public rooms (Garden, 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. Glazing is balanced — pair with 600–900 mm eaves for shading. Electrical fit-out calls for a 40 A consumer unit with about 6 circuits; Roof can host about 35 kW of PV — sized to cover most household loads. Plan for 2 bathrooms serving roughly 2 occupants; sized for either septic or municipal sewer — choose by plot location. Roof catchment could yield ~177 m³/year — size a 53 L storage tank for garden and WC use. On a minimum 352 m² plot (about 25 m × 13 m with NEMA-standard setbacks), the home covers 46% of the plot. If you'd like a different layout, see the ResPlan 00006 — 2BR/2BA 239m² and ResPlan 00005 — 2BR/2BA 88m² in our catalogue.
