TOUR THE ALLEY HOUSE!
201 N. Temple Ave, Indianapolis
It’s been two years researching, designing, and building the Alley House for the Solar Decathlon Build Challenge competition and it’s ready to view!
The Solar Decathlon Alley House is a student-designed project showcasing a sustainable net-zero energy home that incorporates features such as solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, rainwater harvesting, and much more. The house is designed to be beautiful, comfortable, and environmentally responsible, providing a glimpse into the future of sustainable living.
We would love for you to join us for a tour of the Alley House and learn more about our team’s vision and the features of this net-zero home. This is a unique opportunity to see firsthand how we’ve integrated sustainable practices into every aspect of the design and construction.
