3 1 Introduction Many home building kits are predefined and packaged. Customers are charged extra for every change they want to make, they don't have much flexibility in choosing windows, doors or floor plans. EcoLog homes are different. We provide our customers with the flexibility to design their home to best fits their needs. EcoLog has developed a framework, which offers lots of room for customising, but still defines some key parameters to allow for cost efficient production and construction. Ecolog Design Principles The following key principles apply to all EcoLog homes: Outside walls are made of 11 rows of sqaure 8"x8" timbers, with 2" hard foam insulation and chinking between the timbers, resulting in 9' high ceilings on the main floor. The standard width of an EcoLog building block is 24' or 20'. The length can be varied in 4' intervals. The basic rectangles are between 24' and 48' long. In combination, these rectangles can be added together to form compound wing, L or T-shaped buildings Most EcoLog homes have one or more dormers. These not only add appeal, but also allow better use of the loft space The EcoLog roof is designed at a 45 degree angle (12/12 pitch) The typical roof overhang on all sides is 4', which can be extended to add additional protection as well as roofed space using porches or balconies This book contains many sample floor plans with pictures of existing homes, or with drawings of 3D models to show you how these Ecolog Homes can look like. See which plan comes closest to your requirements. Then contact us and let us know how you like to change this plan. We will then customize the floor plan for you and send you higher resolution files which you can print to scale. Hermann@ecolog-homes.com Website: Phone: Page 3

4 2 Cottages And Cabins This sections contains floor plans with fooprints from 480 sqft to 900 sqft. They are all rectangular buildings with a size from 24'x20' to 24'x36' Sqft Cabins The following 2 floor plans are examples for some simple cabins or cottages. Even though they have a very small footprint, they offer lots of living space. Key features for both plans are: Open concept living room, dining and kitchen area Bathroom and laundry on main floor The first cabin 480 sqft (A) has a single large room in the loft. Therefore no dormers are required in the roof, and the construction is simpler and more affordable. Page 4
