Compare Dudils

There are good places to browse and collect house plans. What none of them do is tell you whether a plan actually fits your block. Dudils matches every one of 1,826 plans to which way your block faces and which side your driveway sits on, and an architect has reviewed each one so the main living areas can face north.

Pick a comparison below to see how Dudils stacks up, or search by your exact block width and depth to see the plans that fit your site.

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.
