This is the page for Nemo to design his "realistic" DreamHouse. Whereas the DreamHouse is the fantasy "money is no object" idea ground, this page is for more real-world feasible plans, drawing inspiration from the DreamHouse as nescessary of course...
For now, just some notes...
Rooms
- Library - facing south to avoid direct sunlight onto books (but means no nighttime moon-lit library either? :(
- Master Bedroom - facing west to catch the after-midnight full moon. Only dedicated bedroom of the house.
- Kitchen - eacing east for morning warming sun
- Three bed/study/project rooms. They should be usable as either so the design can work equally well for a variety of scenarios, for eg
- Family (three bedroom (plus master makes 4))
- Childless couple (1 guest room and two studies)
- Single person (computer room, art room, store room)
Random Extra Notes
- Wall-of-glass? Large Round Windows? Stained glass windows?
- Roof angled (ie, rotated, or indeed a different shape) relative to the main structure. Why? For environmental controls through shadow casting at different times of the year. This would need modelling.
- Basement area to maximise space whilst minimising above-ground volume
- Central fireplace with 'heatsink' like fins to radiate warmth through house. (could this act as a cooler in summer too, if the heatsink was connected to earth to push heat back to the ground?
