Stewart Solargon 30 Addition

The Stewart Solargon project located in Longmont, Colorado has broken ground. They plan on using their Solargon for a master suite complete with a link to the existing house. A small brook will flow under an arched opening below the link.

Pictured above is the stepped foundation ready for the concrete pour.

Willett Solargon Update

The Willett Solargon Project started last summer with the connection of two Solargon 30's and a bathroom/entry link in between. This summer they have been busy working on the inside. The kitchen now has the new cabinets. They have also installed drywall and the hand railings to the loft as shown here.

Solargon 20

Pictured above is a Solargon 20 being dismantled. This was the show model for Ellie's Eco Home Store in Boulder Colorado. The store has since closed and the building will be reused.

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.
