SolHaus, or “sun house,” is a compact dwelling concept shaped around daylight, openness, and efficient living. The design explores how a small home can still feel expansive through clear spatial flow, warm materials, and a strong relationship to light. Its logic is simple: less footprint, more clarity, and a home prepared for solar-minded living.

The project organizes domestic life around an open kitchen, living, and dining core, with bright bedrooms, efficient bathrooms, outdoor connection, and a calm material palette that keeps the home feeling generous rather than compressed.
