That's a cute house, and I like the floor plan. I wish I had passive solar. You may get more passive solar folks if you post this to the housing forum on simplelivingdotnet (although the discussion forums are closed this week for maintenance).

Thanks, Piper!
This floor plan is what I've had in mind for awhile now, as far as how the living room, dining room and kitchen are situated. I will tweak it a little, as well as build on a half-basement (dining room side), half-slab.
