This is a view from the Northwest side and I first thought that the coldest parts of the day are the sunset and night so I faced the curved glass wall west. I learned that the coldest parts of the day are the sunrise and night. Since I faced the glass wall west and its in Arizona the building will heat up a great amount. |
This is a different layout on the building. This layout is better than the other one because i took advantage of the sunrise more. I wanted the East side to be a roller door to take advantage of the sunset. I also found a way to make my room bigger and the utilities to be set up in a way to make more room because my max square footage is 400sq feet. I also put a pivot door to be able to let the wind to my house and so the I will be able to control where it goes and when it is closed stop the heat from coming in.

This is my final floor plan and I'm happy with the design. With only having 400 sq. ft. max for my building I managed to fit everything in it with about 25 sq. ft. left over. Every utility has enough space and its not cramped, also my room has more than enough space. Although I am sad that I couldn't add a roller door I am still happy with the product. |
