I just found this crumpled up piece of paper while cleaning up. It’s a top view of a simple sleeping pod which for the southern hemisphere is pointing north to collect and store the warmth of a winter’s day sun which is then slowly released during the night and that would be reversed in your hemisphere.(facing south) It has a little kitchen alcove to the side/front so that you can enjoy cooking in the sun during the winter. From the stove it has a horizontal “kang” style chimney that goes under the foot of the bed to create extra heat inside during the winter - capturing and storing (in the clay) most of the heat generated by the cooking- while separating any smoke from the fire to be outside. I love using these types of stoves because they can be fuelled with fallen branches - which can be fed in long (uncut) - without the need for any wood chopping. It also has that other alcove in the east side which could become a bathroom. The southern side wall has an air gap to fill with straw to insulate it from cold winter winds (north in your hemisphere) and also the western wall has same to insulate against hot summer afternoon sun slowly setting in west. The bed is raised up.
