Welcome to SunGarden Houses

We design and build classic heirloom houses. They are passive solar, they employ autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) wall systems, and they are designed with gardens in mind. Our houses cost no more to build than conventional houses. Visit the pages of our site to learn about our services, the advantages of our techniques, and to look at and buy our plans.
