Larson Home

​

​

In 2004 the Larsons purchased the winning entry in the Solar Decathlon home competition – a 650 square-foot home designed and built by students and faculty at the University of Colorado. They converted it to a highly efficient home on Lookout Mountain, expanding it to 2,800 square feet in 2005.

​

The rooftop solar electric system is maximized with passive solar design such as extensive south facing high-performance windows with overhangs for shade, along with heavily insulated walls and ceilings. Solar hot water feeds a radiant floor heating system and domestic hot water.
