Christ ,
A basic rectangle is one of the most efficient designs.
If you can keep the dimensions around 1 to 1.5 or 2.0 it will be a good ratio for a solar collector as well. In other words if the house is ten feet deep it should be around fifteen to twenty feet long to maintain that ratio.
If you want to be inspired by the master have a look at some of the designs by Frank LLoyd Wright in the "Usonian" series of houses.
They are very well thought out and even today are relevant to modern living for most families.
If you are looking at a McMansion style place perhaps other designers might be more suitable.
Looking forward to the pics.
Cheers , Pete.
