RESILIENT HOME / HIGH-END HOMESTEAD
...
Livingroom
A large window array (20 feet across, 12 feet
at the apex) extends across the south side of the livingroom and kitchen.
It is both attractive and functional—it serves to bring sun energy
into the house on cold winter days, providing free supplemental heat.
A tiled masonry wall is a central feature of the room. It is not only
beautiful but also moderates and stores the heat from the winter sunlight
and the heat from the wood stove, radiating it back into the room after
dark or the end of the fire. The livingroom features two built-in oak
bookcases and an adjacent built-in nick-nack unit. Built-in lighting includes
a ceiling fan/light, reading-light sconces, and recessed lights.
