House

Plans:

  • Use the multi-forma method
  • One circular room 6 meters in diameter.
  • Attached to a circular bathroom, with a circular jacuzzi bathtub, and a door to the outside.
  • Total: 33 sq. meters
  • At least one large "picture window" at least 1.5 meters wide
  • A dome roof with at least one large skylight, hopefully that can be opened and closed
  • Maybe some other smaller skylights as well
  • Radiant floor heating (very important)
  • Use normal electricity now - substitute solar later - then have normal electricity as backup
  • Later add three more circular rooms with doors at points of connection with a covered patio
  • Include a loft in the first room
  • Dry toilet
  • Wood interior wall with air chamber for noise, heat, wiring, plumbing

Questions:

  • Can we make this house amenable to a second floor later? How much extra cost?
  • How thick will the wall be?
  • Could we make most of the windows (and the door) flat if they were small enough to fit within the circular wall?
  • Where will the overhead water tank be?
