My-House is an experiment that Austin Maynard lives in. It is a home that he dare not impose on his clients. It breaks many important rules, often not in a good way. My-House lets in sunlight where a house should not. Whilst it is a very sustainable home, My-House is not as thermally efficient as the homes the architect design for others. Issues of privacy and personal comfort are often challenged in My-House. It is for these reasons that he also love it.
