The mid century modern house design relies on environmentally sustainable design principles to generate to ensure energy-efficiency and economical life cycle costs. Open plan living spaces capture and then release the winter heat gain, when the sun is at lower azimuth, while the considered eaves overhang eliminates the worst of the summer heat gain. The highlight louvre windows generate ‘stack effect’ ventilation and permit natural light to the main living area. Depending on climate zone, these design features may eliminate the need for HVAC/air-conditioning.
