 Selene and Renee Vega
“We love our strawbale, off-the-grid, passive solar home, and have been pleased to introduce many people to sustainable building possibilities through their experience of our house. Working with Michele as contractor for our building project was a great experience. She was very open to us taking on the parts that we felt we could do, and she was experienced with strawbale. She let us know our options, made suggestions, and worked with us to make choices appropriate for us on so many aspects of the project. We highly recommend Boa Constructor!” |
Vega ResidenceVega Residence This spacious Strawbale house sits atop a knoll in the Santa Cruz mountains. Designed by architect Dan Silvernail, built by BOA CONSTRUCTOR BUILDING AND DESIGN in 2001. Called Skyote Mountain by its owners Selene and Reñe Vega, this passive solar retreat center/home stays a comfortable temperature year round with the help of its super insulated strawbale walls, recycled cellulose roof insulation and ample southern exposure. Designed with a cascading roof line from west to east , this off the grid home produces all its own electricity with a 6K watt photovoltaic system. There is no PG&E bill at Skyote Mountain.
