Make this a passive solar home: add the marked north windows
The dashed boxes on the floor plan show where to add windows on the north facing wall of the living areas. Adding them lets the low winter sun stream in for free heating, while a normal roof overhang shades the high summer sun. Show the marked plan to your builder, designer or architect.

Bathurst 30 (Reverse) by cavalierhomes.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 east.
An architect has marked on the floor plan exactly where to add windows on the north facing wall of the living areas. Adding them turns this into a true passive solar home: the low winter sun streams in for free heating while a normal roof overhang shades the high summer sun. Show the marked plan to your builder, designer or architect.
At 13.19 metres wide by 27.04 metres deep (about 284.15 square metres of floor area), the house needs a build width of roughly 15 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.
