[@hawk00055]

The pantry is a great idea. I also love the double height living room.The ensuite bathroom looks bigger than the bedroom!

curious what the avg temps are for Ian's region ...looks like Texas?...but Texas is huge, & he could still be dealing with freezes and/or 110f. also, any plans for calculated southern awnings & E/W shading? trees would be great on E/W, but it's a very tall structure, & they'd take a long time to grow high enough. looks great, & self-built is a major accomplishment.

@@Krazie-Ivan this project is south Ottawa Ontario just about an hour north of New York State. Any passive home with the window dominant side facing the equator (South in this case) Will never drop below 17°C during winter with zero heating, and never be above 27°C with zero cooling. There is always a heating and cooling system. This just reinforces the little energy required to maintain comfortable interior environment. E/W shading easily accomplished with window coverings, inquire.. Our blog will have a article publish soon about window coverings, sign up here ekobuilt.com/blog/
