Either that glass wall is going to make this place bake if it's facing South, or require some rather expensive triple-glazed passive house windows if it's facing North, so the place doesn't become an icebox in the colder months.
The structure itself measures 11' 9 9/16" tall in SketchUp, which has a very convenient measuring tape tool. Might just make it, depending on trailer.
Have you done any heat gain/loss simulations? I assume those windows are for passive solar heating. That much window would turn the interior into a blast furnace during the day and be very hard to insulate at night.
Do you have the SketchUp file available somewhere? I have been wanting to make a Tumbleweed home and some base measurements to go off of to start would be really useful. The plans for the existing home plans would not suit me due to my height and the need for laying out a system for solar power. Not to mention I want to tweak a good number of aspects of the layout.

Or you could build it at an angle. :3

I can't see the height, but keep in mind that in most places, trailer height can't exceed 13.5 ft. I think this one is taller than that.

@TheMikkiHarris the dimensions don't seem to show it higher than 11 feet.

This would be great house near the equator.

looks like a green house more than a regular house.

Wow, I didn't know Sketchup was useful for complex blueprints

I think this is my favourite model to date. Something about those huge windows really appeals to me.

hey could u send me the file so i can work on it to make it fit to my ideas i have?
I am just new to sketchup and would like to try around bit more but have no real clue.
thanks would be very appreciated, John from calgary
