After battling and squeezing and shoehorning everything in at the size we felt was right and ending up with a complex and difficult to build plan, we finally decided that we should simplify the brief and hence the design. Like this: a house has two functions, sleeping and living. Cut the house in two sleep in one and live in the other. The middle can be used as circulation and to get light and heat into the house.
What I particularly like is that the middle strip can be fully glazed and lined with dense materials to soak up the sun's heat, this means the floors are freed up to be of lighter construction.
Anyway only developed this yesterday so this is early days still.
