Hilltop Solar
McFarland, Wisconsin

This is a concept design for a solar house on a hiltop to be the surrounded by a restored prairie and an organic farm. The roof planes are designed to shrug off the strong northern winds that sweep over this exposed knoll, and open to the southern sun. From the living roof over the guest wing to the solar panels over the solar-heated pool and greenhouse, it is energy efficient and healthy, natural architecture. It features distant views of Lake Monona from below the low, curved northern eaves.
