Plan drawn to the render. Room dimensions on the drawing; areas sum to the stated floor area. A construction set follows the House No. 1 pipeline.

Two wings make an L around the gravel court: the living wing runs long under the steel beams, the bedroom wing turns south for quiet, and the covered walk with the grill stitches them together.
