VERY interesting to see the floorplans available, and I was looking for one with a basement option. The largest one does have basement option.
And, this builder is in Decatur, here in IN.
Tempting!
Note, however, lack of garage. Would have to have one of those!
In Chicago at their Museum of Sci & Industry, they have an incredible, similar-concept house built on museum grounds there. We paid for the tour, and it was very well built, very solid (believe me, I tested that!). We were very impressed with the whole thing, and also a bit disappointed that it was not a known option when we built new house in 2004-2006. We probably would have done that had we known someone actually was building that type of house. Of course, the traditional builder we had (even though custom) balked even at the idea of insulated poured concrete foundations. No one seemed to be open to anything even close to this concept... we would have had to be our own general contractors, and that would have been impossible.

They can put a lot of options on the house. Basically, if you want it - they can do it. The solar village houses are not designed via All American Homes, so they have to pay royalties for that design - which is why it's actually cheaper just to get the solar package as an option on an original design.
