Austin is quickly becoming a pioneer in homes constructed with energy conservation design. SOL is an affordable, zero-energy community located in East Austin, TX. The model homes are 1,600 square feet, with wrap around second floor decks, a private side yard, and plenty of natural shade from an abundance of trees.

Included in the home’s design is a built in desk area, double height feature stairwell, a pull out pantry and off street parking. The 24 homes scheduled for construction in this community will generate as much energy as they pull from a grid of solar panels, making them East Austin’s first, truly zero energy consumption community. The SOL project is motivated by sustainable living and modern design. These homes are affordable, with smart architecture and an eco-conscious attitude. The concept is to bring modern design and living to everyone.
