Hello!
I am in the early planning stages of building an Octagon house. The house will
have a central fireplace. I have no building restrcitions and can orient the
house any way I choose - I do have a great river view directly to the South
that will be the main focus of the house.
In designing this house it occurred to me that it would be interesting to align
the house with the 8 points of the compass, and then it occurred to me that
there are many things that I could do with this, if I but had the knowledge.
Such as, design the house as a live in sunddial, or astronomical calendar with
shadow line(s) falling on solstices marked on the central fireplace, equinoxes,
eclipses, what have you.
However, I am ignorant on the subjects above and am seeking ideas to
incorporate into the design. I am about a year from starting construction, so
now is the time to plan this out.
Any and all suggestions are welcomed!
Thank you
Lloyd
