A few weeks ago this new modern, 5 star Austin Energy green rated home was completed at SOL Austin.  The 1140 SF plan has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on either end of the house providing excellent privacy. There are two sets of sliders each with exterior mounted louvers that connect a large courtyard to the living room/dinning room/kitchen.

This is the home of Sam and Catherine, 2 Architects that have become the latest residents to start living at SOL. The couple take us on a tour of their house, explaining a few special design elements and a few of the sustainable building features.
