Scandinavian House Plans
These plans are for a house that can be built in Norway or Finland. Since part of the house is covered in Solar Panels, it will be able to collect power and store it in batteries during the 3 month period of all sun. The stored power will then be used to run the heater and other appliances in the 3 month period of no sun at all.
2.The house will be built like a normal house with studs in the walls to hold the house up. A couple differences are first, behind the insulation there will be big sheets of metal surrounding the house to keep the studs from rotting in the snowy climate. and secondly he house will have steel pillars underneath the corners of the house to keep it from blowing over in the blizzards.
3. This house can be built by using 24 shapes. 4 rhombuses, 10 triangles, 4 squares, 2 diamonds, and 4 hexagons. The isometric drawings will show you how to piece together the shapes.
4. This part of the house you will to put hinges on because the snow that piles on will slip through and will be shed off the building.
5. To build the right side of the house you will need to use the isometric drawings and the letter number code. You start by putting A2 to C4 and C1 to B2. Then put sides E1 and E3 to C5 and B4. To build the shed on the right side you put Cl to Bl and Al to B4 then A2 to the second B4.
The left side is built much the same way except there is no shed. Start by putting Alt o C6 then F2 to Cl. You will also need to put E4 and E2 to C3 and F4. To build the top you put sides A1 and A2 to Fl and Bl. Then put A3 up to A3. (Be sure to use the isometric drawings to build the house.) Next put A2 to A1 and A2 to Al and A1 to A2.
To build the back put D4 and D1 to El and A3. Put D1 to D3. Next put D4 to D3. Then put C3, Cl, C6, and C5 up to D4, D2, Al, and E3. You then put C5, C1, C4, and C3 to D2, D2, F3, and E2.
To build the bottom put C4 to A3, C6 to D3, C3 to C2, C5 to C2,A3 to C2, Al and A2 to C2 and C2, and A3 to Cl,Al and A2 to A3 and A3.

The house is designed for a Scandinavian climate because it is shaped for the strong winds and snowy climates. It looks like a three-dimensional triangle and uses a solar heating system.

Solar Heating
Solar heating works by cold water being sent through copper tubing that runs across the solar panels and then back into the house where it is sent to wherever it is needed. Like a faucet, shower, or a heating grate.
Dear Director of Designing Spaces:
I have made a house that I think could really be used in the climate I have chosen. My house looks a little like a big three dimensions triangle but it has a shed sticking out the side. The back of it is but at an angle so not all of it is like a triangle. The shape of the house is shaped in a trianglular way because if the snow were to pile up on a flat roof it would sooner or later cave in. With a slanted roof the snow just slides down it and there is no threat of it caving in.
The bottom of the house looks like a big diamond except the bottom of the shed sticks out one side. The roof looks like a pyramid with a triangle coming off of one side. The reason there is a shed on the side of the house is so the people living in it can store solar power for the long periods of no sun.
The house is designed for a Scandinavian climate because it is shaped for the strong winds and snowy climates. The house uses solar panels to heat the house and run the appliances. It saves power in the batteries in the shed. Because of the snowy climate design this house could be located in Norway or Finland.
The house uses 4 squares, 10 triangles, 4 rhombuses, 2 diamonds, and 4 hexagons. It has 15 edges, and 17 vertices.
Bibliography
For our background research we used an article on buildings in The Oxford Encylopedia, a book called Skyscrapers published by McDonald Educational and an article on solar heating from Microsoft Encarta.
