Team Orange County’s Casa del Sol is an innovative, net-zero energy home that draws inspiration from the California poppy. Like the flower, Casa del Sol is drought-resistant and architecturally adapted to Southern California. Our home promotes the indoor-outdoor California lifestyle with outdoor living spaces and passive solar design. Casa del Sol also addresses ecological concerns and helps meet the need for affordable housing in Southern California. It features an open space design with a flex floor plan as well as a separate studio that is optimal for multigenerational living or a possible rental. Our goal is to create a sleek and modern design that makes a sustainable future feel like home.
