This is a representation of my halftogon<\/a> house<\/a> section<\/a>. The roof is flat and green, hence the “hair”.<\/p>\n

The dotted line represents the platform on which a small sunken living room would be.<\/p>\n

Basically I lowered the second bedroom by one meter, allowing the space above and between the ceiling to serve as a living room area.<\/p>\n

This works with a sunken area around 1700mm high (5’9), enough to semi stand and go up and down the stairs to access the elevated space.<\/p>\n

Why this? Because this would create a screening space that I’d rather not have permanently in the living room otherwise. I was thinking about a cart for TV at first, but that’s probably super annoying.<\/p>\n

With a small sunken living room for watching stuff, I put the TV away and make it a more agreeable way to watch it as well., theater like.<\/p>\n

Of course I would put some bookshelves and probably some planters on the left side (south) and along the stairs. That would add some shade and cooling as well (hot air goes up).<\/p>\n

The bedroom under would benefit greatly from being underground by one meter, guaranteeing it from being hot at all times in a desert environment.<\/p>\n

Structurally this doesn’t change anything which means that this doesn’t impact finances too much. I would just need to dig an area of about 10-12m\u00b2, which is not that bad.<\/p>\n

Yup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
