Custom Homes Case Studies

Over the past ten years, Solar Village has designed and built a wide variety of single family residences.  Whether for a speculative sale, or a private client, each residence was designed to a very specific program.  We believe that for a successful project it is critical to thoroughly establish and understand all of the clients' requirements before starting the design process.  The end result has been very happy clients, excellent home appreciation, and a constant demand for our unique homes.
