"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."
I recently visited this project and the owners commented on how cool the building stayed even though their air conditioning has been down for the past couple of weeks. With this being the hottest summer on record it says a lot about the performance of the building and Solargon.

Solargon 20 Relocated

    

 

  This Solargon 20 has a new home in South Park, Colorado near Tarryall Reservoir

              

Before it found it's new home in Park County it was located at Ellie's Eco Home Store in Boulder, Colorado pictured below.

  It was disassembled after the store closed, stored and then resold.

 The Solargon sits on a full walk out basement on one end, and we plan to frame a
near equal sized addition on the other side of the basement.  (Roughly 19’4” x 19’4”
addition

 We put up the Solargon walls on Saturday, and started the roof panels on Sunday.
We got 4 of the roof panels on, but they are not in their exact places yet. We placed
4 screws in each installed panel to secure them in place, but those screws will need to
come out as we install the remaining panels.

 

 Yeah

 

And the fishing around these parts ain't bad.
