Solargon

Bev Dolittle

On my way to assembly the Paonia Solargon 30 (previous post) I went over McClure Pass in western Colorado. At the very top of the pass just before you descend into the beautiful Paonia valley, there is an incredible forest of aspen. I stopped to take the picture above and was amazed at the density of aspens. It reminded me of a Bev Dolittle painting with the absence of Indians on horseback.
Dreams of my own Solargon in the woods came to mind.

If you have property and you are thinking of creating your own new living space and building a super efficient home, then consider this. It is not difficult. The people that show up for the assemble of Solargons are surprised at how quickly the structure goes up. If you have several friends and a weekend you can assembly a Solargon. Most of the building is already done when it arrives at your site. You do not have to be a builder and help is available for the planing and preparations needed for a smooth assemble of your Solargon home. Let me know your thoughts at: solargonhomes@gmail.com

Welcome to Solargon Homes.
Solargon cabins and homes were the natural development of refinement and timing. Our designs reflect the trend in downsizing and energy efficient building. Start small and add as you need, or combine our building component sizes to build the living space that fits your needs. Using ultra efficient and super strong polyurethane SIPs walls, roof and floor panels, Solargon has created uniquely designed living spaces that result in optimum living comfort and significant energy savings with the most efficient building systems available. As building codes mandate higher standards for compliance, the cost of conventional building has risen to make SIPs competitive with big advantages over "stick built" homes.
Our homes are bright and open inviting light in with improved airflow.
"An octagonal house is cheaper to build, allows for additional living space, receives more natural light, is easier to heat, and remains cooler in the summer. These benefits all derive from the geometry of an octagon: the shape encloses space efficiently, minimizing external surface area and consequently heat loss and gain, building costs etc."

Solargon living spaces are the exterior SIPs envelope or SIPs panels. Because of the many interior and exterior treatment options such as siding, roofing, windows, flooring, etc. we offer the shell , super structures, connectors, venting skylight and you choose what finishing to complete the living space. Our cabin assembles in hours and the larger Solargon 30 can be assembled in as little as two days.
