Loft bedroom

Two nice-sized bedrooms occupy the Northwestern portion of the floor plan. Both use the passive solar concept of clear story windows at the top of a 16' angled ceiling to a south-facing wall that adds warmth to the rooms. In the winter, the sun streams through the clear story and stores solar gain as it hits the back wall, which is insulated by an earth-berm on the outer Northern wall of the house. We have taken advantage of that 16' ceiling in the West bedroom pictured here with the addition of a carpeted and tiled sleeping or meditation loft that adds additonal floor space and makes for a nice bedroom/office or office/guest room.
