A friend's mother had a panabode built. It faced south with large windows & high ceilings so it didn' feel cramped or was it dark. It worked out well for her for 20+ years.

Slba - I met Peter Sing when he was on Bainbridge several years ago and he showed me his plans and how the logs were cut. He seemed like he was a good business man & knew how to build a good home.
