What does one need or use?
What can we as house designers do to help?
What should/could be done?
Why?
Law 1: Reduce
The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction.
Law 2: Organise
Organsiation makes a system of many appear fewer
Law 4: Learn
Knowledge makes everything simpler
Law 6: Context
What lies in the periphery of simplicity is definitely not peripheral.
Law 9: Failure
Some things can never be made simple.
--John Maeda
These are the ones that I connected with in relation to the house project.

Oh, hey! When were you reading John Maeda? There's a really excellent book of his.. intearction designs..? in the ECU library. What is this from?
