To add, electrical cables in conduits with cables running behind
skirtings.

Conduits would have to be substantial steel to protect if you
wanted to do this with power cables in this position......

Then no need to butcher Warmcell filled walls in the futrure when
cables need extending around a room.

Large porch to act as an air lock and a place to put wet clothes
and shoes.

I thought it was a house rather than a space ship.....

Yep it is. It is also keeps in heat very well and air tight too.
You don't want any of that heat to run out the door, so you have
one with doors at right angles, so it is difficult for both be open
at the same time.

That's going to be really convenient for getting things in and out,
including people in an emergency.

No. You have a big porch. Duh!

Which immediately defeats your previous statement that "... you have one
with doors at right angles, so it is difficult for both to be open at the
same time." If that is the case, then you need a porch large enough to hold
a 3 seater settee, 2 large adults along with space to move around and
open/close each door individually. Realistically you're talking about an
8'x8' room. That's not a porch, that's a total waste of space.

In fact it could be worse than that. If you assumed a wheelchair bound
person and doors that cannot be opened simultaneously, then you may well
have found a new way to reduce over-population.
