After several postings using merely words, here are the initial drawings of the plan as developped back in 2005 (to the right)
These drawings will serve as a starting point for the realisation of the current project that has a very comparable set of queries.
Most important changes are that the house will be suited for permanent living for four persons with implications on dimensions and comfort. And I tend to add to this previous concept the notions that architect Jon Kristinsson shared with me. As he puts it, a house is more than a living-machine. A house also possesses a soul, often to be found in the attic of a house, as a place where memories are stored. Yes, we all need place to place parts of our past life, yet if I want to create a smart, affordable and sustainable house I will have to limit the number of square meters built. I think there's a way to cope with this as we'll see.
