Metricon House Plans
North is always up, like Google Maps. Every plan here is turned so north points up the page.
Website: metricon.com.au
Metricon is one of the home builders we list on Dudils. Browse their house plans below, then enter your block to see which of their designs actually fit your site and face the sun.
Every Metricon plan here has been reviewed by an architect so the main living areas can face north for free winter warmth and natural summer cooling. Set your block width, depth and driveway side, and we turn each floor plan so north points up.
This page lists 31 plans, from builders rated 3.0 on Google.
Free heating in winter
Summer: eaves block sun
Winter: lower angle lets sun in
In winter the low northern sun streams through north facing windows for free heat. In summer a roof overhang blocks the high sun. Good orientation cuts your energy bills with no mechanical systems.
Want the detail? The Australian Government's YourHome guide to orientation is the best free resource on getting it right.
