Solar Bungalow

This owner has a fine rural property surrounded by farm fields, a barn and many trees -- and a falling-down old farmhouse. He plans to replace it with a "solar bungalow", a style appropriate for this Midwestern landscape but adapted to passive solar design. A large ground-mounted solar array in the rear yard will provide supplementary heat.
