DESIGING THE HOME

well me being an american kid and all this was a fun and challanging building for an african family home. The way that i went about going on was i did research about the outlying area of cape town such as what were the building materials used and what was the family size, and how green and energy efficent we could make it.

As soon as you walk through the front door you are greeted with the great room and straight ahead you can see the kitchen and dining room because of the half wall. Off to your left you have the two kids bedrooms with their bath in the middle. As for the right side you have the master bedroom and master bath. In the winter time the master, great room, and one kids bedroom gets direct solar gain for easy heating, while in the summer the little roof extension takes off the heat.
