The Honeycomb house is a small project to explore how hexagons can work together.

The picture displays four small pods, 2 medium pods and one large/main pod. Each of these pods would have a different purpose, as different rooms would in an ordinary house.

The layout would be thought through to make sure it works efficiently as a house. Each pod has one, two or three doors/openings into the next pod. The majority of the walls would be windows to allow in a lot of light.

There is a good sized courtyard in the middle with wooden decking, a small seating area fitted on the right side with a fireplace and the whole building sits on a hexagon shaped platform. The main pods would be white rendered and the roofs could be copper which would weather nicely in time.
