Even if the site conditions are poor, you can still get solar radiation! (Example)

Today I'll introduce you to a real example.

The lot is 23 mXNUMX, long and narrow from east to west, and the house next door to the south is a cliff! Even on a site with the worst conditions for sunlight, it is possible to create a bright and warm home if you think about it carefully during the design. Since I uploaded the video about sunlight, I've been getting more questions like, "There's nothing you can do because the land conditions are bad, right?"


 It is true that no matter how well you design it, you cannot ensure as much sunlight as you would get on a site with good conditions. However, you can make it to a level similar to the house shown in this video. However, in order to do so, you need to choose a housing company that has all the necessary insulation, a design that is good at dealing with the sun, and design capabilities.


 It is not just a case study, but also contains a lot of information that is not found in general floor plan books or websites, such as specific methods for designing in a way that is friendly to the sun, and the fact that skylights should not be used lightly.
