A Fun Passive Solar Home

I was looking through some Passive Solar home plans on The Plan Collection website when I came a cross this gem of a home. It has a fun look to it and it can provide some energy efficiency that everyone is looking for these days.

LS-H-935-1 has a lot of deck space with most of it being covered on the main floor. This would be a great home to build in a location such as the one depicted in the rendering. You have the potential of sunbathing on the clear days and then you could watch a rainstorm like never before.

The stairs in this home are not your usual straight up and straight down staircase. They have an office building type stairwell that wraps around to the different levels. Now, I know the last thing you want to think about is your office but these have a great look from the outside.

Included with the exciting looks of the house, having skylights and a solar panel on the roof could really save some money. Figuring that this home would probably be a vacation home, it would be smart to have these features so you don't have to pay a lot of money for something you only use occasionally. Not only will these help with heating your home but you would get waves of natural light that makes the house light up with joy.
