Reworked plan

Reworked the plan to be similar to the previous one (studio and front living spaces = almost as is) but with less unused space, or at least, no gaps on the southeast facing wall.

Sun

Afternoon sun will reach the far corner with outdoor toilet.
No outdoor space remains along the southeast facing wall.
Skylights in the bedrooms face north or northwest
The living room has a clerestory window facing north to catch sun during the day.

Daylight, light qualities

The master bed probably has the least direct light, but has a stack of windows/opening wall into the private garden area.
The studio has one long window reaching all the way up which overlooks the garden and will let in some morning light. It also has a skylight which will allow light to penetrate down to the ground level.

The kitchen has a large internal window into the conservatory area, plus a huge skylight which has operable louvres to close off the hot afternoon sun if wished. The kitchen will be the most light drenched area of the living spaces.

The dining area will get light from both the clerestory windows over the entrance way (afternoon sun) and also has opening doors onto the entry courtyard.

The main living space has tall windows which will draw your eye upwards to the skyscape view out in this direction, and also provide interest from the street (internal movement).

The conservatory/indoor garden area is completely covered with a glass roof which responds to the sun and light (heat activated - will turn opaque when heated with hot summer or afternoon sun).

The bath, toilets and shower areas all have their own operable skylights. The bath also has large opening doors onto the private garden, as does the outdoor toilet.

 

Scents - this plan hasn't changed at all (see previous post for this plan).

However, tell the stories about the Hoya vine and the Jasmine vines, and nostalgic scents.
