Earth-Solar #2

This Design #2

Highlights: This design expands design #1 about 23% while maintaining a 1 bedroom 1 bath configuration. Most spaces get a little more elbow room. Notable changes are a combined front and carport entry mud room, a dedicated laundry alcove with multipurpose work counter, more bedroom closet, and a 2 vehicle carport. Also showing in the 3d interior images are several interior brick walls importantly contributing to the passive solar thermal mass potential.
