Use natural light when designing your home build

Posted by SteveReid 1st February

In category Architecture

The sun can affect your home design in many ways, depending on the direction your home faces. A south facing place will be warmer in the winter, but hotter in the summer. You should place windows to take advantage of natural light - which also of course allows for better energy conservation. And if you particularly enjoy sunrises or sunsets, then design places into the east or west sides of your home to spend time doing so.
