My husband and I would certainly like this plan for our back to simpler mode accomodation. I especially liked the idea of pocket doors as a space saver. I guess that why I so love things Japanese, that economy of living environment and furnishing. Good luck--hope you get more coverage.

Lots of older TX ranch homes are dogtrots, including the French embassy to Texas (1836-1945). This design, with suitable modifications, would probably be easy to make passive-solar as well as passive-ventilation. They're great, and the porch is just perfect for sittin' in the winter.
