Plan GS-66201: One-story 2 Bedroom Modern House Plan For Narrow Lot

"Desert Roof" was designed for hot and dry climates. Slab foundations and plaster walls are standard for houses in hot climates, but you can use fiber cement siding or metal plastic.

External walls are made of 2 by 6 and cavity insulation sprayed with close cells polyurethane foam, providing the highest heat transfer resistance to all external elements. The roof structure consists of visible rafters and wood board with 150 mm foamed polystyrene insulation and is covered with asphalt shingles.  Asphalt shingles were chosen for their durability and low price. Due to the small slope of the roof, the coating will not be visible from the ground and it is possible to install solar panels, as well as the plan includes solar generators, rainwater harvesting and a complete list of materials.
