Tclo'Den Design Guide

Principle: Advanced Simplicity

• Only using the most basic of modules. No engineered trusses. bars will be 16' wide only with simple shed roof away from the courtyard.
• Solar array on s side of N bar
• Solar array on s side of S enclosed deck bar
• Considering hydronic heat to efficiently/effectively move heat throughout this long skinny home
• Considering cost and benefits/cons of slab on grade vs pier and beam
• Drainage of courtyard must always be considered.
• Courtyard is the heart of this home

Roof

E Bar is 16x32 so this works: https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Seed_Home_2_Roof

Probably 10' courtyard side to 8 or 9' opposite. Need to shed water a bit 1/4" minimum but might really flatten in out for sunbathing and possible solar array on top of this E Bar.
