Form and orientation of your new home

CASE STUDY #1

Thunderbird Rd, Sylva, Jackson County, NC 28779
Have you considered starting your new home from scratch? 
Before purchasing a property lot, hire a licensed architect to find out the possibilities of your dream home. Architects can provide a feasibility study to determine the potential of a property before you invest too much time.
See the ideal location for a house footprint on the Thunderbird Road lot. Orientation of the building footprint is the positioning of the building in relation to seasonal variations in the sun’s path. During the winter, the sun's rays are lowered making the natural warming of the house more difficult, but when it is oriented properly, you can take advantage of the natural resources. 
The analysis also provides 

• temperature ranges, both seasonal and diurnal (day–night)
• humidity ranges
• direction of cooling breezes, hot winds, cold winds, wet winds
• seasonal characteristics, including extremes
• impact of local geographic features on climatic conditions
  
• Impact of adjacent buildings and existing landscape.
