 Design is a wide scope to fill. Design entails, house layout, site layout
& solar orientation, house specification.
House layout will depend on client preference and client requirements.
The fact that your plans have been drawn does not stop you from
changing the complete interior layout of your home.
The value and comfort of your home can change dramatically at
this stage.
Opening the space in your home more or changing the positron of the stairs, allowing for gallery's or central focal points
are all valid options and these points must be discussed first.
The layout of your home should compliment your needs perfectly.
Site Layout & Solar Orientation determines the position of the house and how it will react to the sun, wind, rain
and the earth it stands on. This discussion will centre on your site plans and soil test results.
When you want to build a passive house you must put great emphasis on how it will react to the elements.
The orientation of your home will determine how much solar energy your home will receive throughout the year.
This is essential as we are trying to achieve a self sufficient passive home we will need to place our solar panels
and solar water heaters in the optimum position to achieve maximum results.
House Specification deals with the composition of the structure of your home ie wall & roof composition.
Your requirements will be met by selecting the correct structure to build.
Walls can be anything from 260mm to 490mm and constructed in different ways.
House specification confirms the requirements for the house and contributes to further processes.
Everything from external wall finishing and window design to plumbing requirements and galleries should be decided.
