Alden 292
North is always up, like Google Maps.
Pros
- The walk in pantry is about 6 m from the garage door, so the shopping goes straight in.
- The bedrooms sit away from the living areas, so they stay quiet.
- A separate toilet, so the bathroom can be used at the same time.
- A study nook.
Cons
- About 13% of the floor is hallway, space you heat and clean but cannot use.

Orientation notes
Alden 292 by hotondo.com.au is a single storey house drawn so its main living areas face north for free winter warmth and natural summer cooling. On this page the floor plan is rotated so north is up, the same way Google Maps shows a site.
It suits a block with the backyard to the north, where the street and driveway sit to the south.
At 28.51 metres wide by 14.18 metres deep (about 291.82 square metres of floor area), the house needs a build width of roughly 30 metres once you allow for side setbacks.
Dudils only lists this plan because an architect reviewed it and confirmed the living areas can face north on a real Australian block. Use the search on this page to check it against your own block width, depth and driveway side before you talk to the builder.
