Somewhere in Paonia

Surrounded by mountains and nestled in the beautiful valley of Paonia, Colorado is the latest addition to the Solargon family. Owner Cindy Young is delighted to see her new octagon meditation space finally come together. Just 14 hours after the assembly crew began, this very efficient passive solar SIPs building was completed. It is set in an old cherry orchard and when the pink blossoms grace this dwelling in the spring I will return. Many thanks to the crew and Cindy for their help in making this a great building experience.

The morning went well and the crown beam assembly and some of the roof panel were installed.

Above the building is pictured with the shell completed and ready for interior and exterior finishings. To see the web album click here.

Best Cabin On The Market

Just a short clip of the Loveland Solargon 30 as the interior is being finished.

Owner Bob Sutherland has completed the outside of his Solargon 30 with rough cedar boards and battens and a low maintenance metal roof complete with a large wrap around deck and awsome views.

The architectural lines and woodwork were stunning as we walked in and looked up at a sea of sweet smelling pine.

Here is a view from the loft area. A great place for the kids and sleeps about six.

The glass for the gable windows arrived today and will be a great accent for the knotty pine covered walls and ceiling. Although these windows are not big they seemed to bring the outside in and offered additional light and great views from the loft above. To see the web album click here.

Sanctuary In The Round

This sanctuary in the round north of Crestone, Colorado contains 12 ridge lines and 12 valleys in the roof system. The original roof was canvas and needed replacement. Designer Rob Galloway replaced the old roof with this complex new design. A steel cable at the top of the wall serves as a moment ring keeping the walls from splaying outward. Although a true round building it proves less cost effective to build than an octagon. Click on picture to see a close up.
