aska.jpgRemember the sun in your house!

One very important aspect which we should consider when situating a house on a plot of land is localization of daylight. House daylight sphere: The living room and the dining room should be situated from south to west to receive optimal utilization of sunlight. Others areas such as staircases, kitchens, bathrooms and garages don’t need as much daylight and should be located on north to east side.

Narrow plot.
To build a house on a narrow plot than plan is designed you can for example: remove or replace windows with glass block, so it will be possible to locate the house 3 meters from the border, remove the dormer; reduce the eaves if they are bigger then 0.8m; reduce balcony size, if they are bigger then 1.3m. In our catalogue there is information on minimal plot size.
