House Plans

E. and I designed a house recently, for our plot, through a friendly architect. It will be our only home, God willing, in the country -- although we live in Cape Town. The plans are modest.  It is 3 metres wide. It has a few special features: it uses wood-fired cooking, river water, solar electricity -- it has a few "escape hatches" rather than doors -- it has a veranda (in blue), and an attic -- and precautions against floods. It will be surrounded by poplars.
