The free-standing log burner heats the hot water while warming the entire living area, while an HRV system helps to distribute warmth throughout the house.

A door from the kitchen heads out to a long veranda on the eastern side of the house and connects conveniently with the laundry and second toilet, with built-in shelves and room for a chest freezer. The section slopes downwards towards the back yard, the wide driveway leading to a large gravelled area behind the house, where a basement garage can accommodate two cars and also provide vast storage area under the house.
