Idea to built, handled

The design tool is free. You only pay for the pieces that make it real — permits, engineered plans, and contractor coordination.

What we build

☀︎

Solar Passive Habitat

The curved, glazed Solarship arch — from a cover over a heat pump to a whole home in a dome. Captures winter sun, shades summer heat, works on the home you already own.

Any scale
🌬️

Earth-tube HVAC pre-conditioning

Buried pipe that pre-heats incoming air in winter and pre-cools it in summer using the ground's steady temperature — cutting the load on your HVAC or heat pump. Standalone, or paired with a Sophab under a patio.

Standalone or add-on
⛱️

Internal summer shade

Retractable white tarps on a simple pulley track inside the arch — pulled across to reject summer heat, opened in winter to let the sun back in.

How we help

From idea to built, end to end

🗺️

Free solar assessment

Find your home on a map, and we check every wall for sun exposure, buildable room and shading — then model a Sophab on it with a real cost estimate.

Free

Engineered plans

We adapt the stamped HalfPhab Arch engineering set to your exact dimensions — the sealed drawings your municipality needs.

Paid
📄

Permitting

We assemble and submit the building-permit package for your municipality, so you don't have to decode the bylaws.

Contractor coordination

We share the plans and estimate with vetted local builders and help you compare quotes and schedule the work.

Sizing options

From a compact heat-pump cover to a full-house arch — sized to your wall, budget and how much sun your site gets.

Any scale
How it works

Five steps, mostly free

1 · Find your home

Search or drop a pin on a free map — satellite or street — and we pull your building footprint and lot lines.

2 · Solar access & wall

We assess each wall for sun, trees and room within your property lines, then recommend the best one.

3 · Model & estimate

See a 3D model on your home, a site plan, winter-heat & savings, and an itemized cost estimate.

4 · See it on your photos

Upload photos from the yard and we overlay the true geometry so you can picture it in place.
