Richmond

Richmond by weeks.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 south, where the street and driveway sit to the west.

At 14.03 metres wide by 20.51 metres deep (about 288 square metres of floor area), the house needs a build width of roughly 16 metres once you allow for side setbacks. South Australia's hot dry summers and mild winters make orientation and shading central, and north facing living with the right eaves handles both.

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.
