Solargon: conservation of energy through intelligent design and utilization of super efficient building components to create very green cabins and homes.

Tuesday, September 21, 2010


With the extremely dry conditions and the recent fires in Colorado, this project has taken extra precautions for fire mitigation. Along with the SIPs panels which are very fire resistant the Willetts have chosen metal roofing and concrete siding.

Willett Progess

It is mid August and the Willett Solargon project is about closed in. These twin Solargon 30-10's are connected by a 12'x18' link with entry and bathroom. The 10' walls give this model a big feel and room for a loft.
Before the roof went on the crown beam and rafter assembly was installed.

Solargon Paonia 20-4

 This is the latest version of the Solargon 20 with 311 sq. ft of living space. Owners Kale and Laura have finished this charming cabin complete with deck, sandstone patio, hot tub and root cellar. The Solargon 20-4 features a four sided roof system over an ultra efficient SIPs octagon. Kale's Cottage.
                                                   View from the hot tub.

                Inside is a nice kitchen with an addition to accommodate a bathroom.
Small gable windows illuminate the T&G ceiling giving this cabin an open and light living space. The  SIPs building envelope, which included all wall and roof panels was assembled in 6 hours and the owners completed the entire project in 3 months.  For more information about creating your own Solargon cabin or home write to solargonhomes@gmail.com
