Solar Energy houses by Graft Architects


Graft Architects have unveiled a new solar energy house design that takes inspiration from the historic camelback by Graft Architects shotgun typology.

Traditionally camelback solar homes were built to allow the owners to add a partial second story to a residence which could serve multiple purposes. These next-gen solar camelback homes by Graft Architects have been designed for the “Make It Right Program”. The architects have designed 2 prefabricated units, which are constructed off-site.

The exterior staircase of the solar house carries the owners to a rooftop terrace, which might also be used a private deck for upper dwelling. It also gives the owners access to the photovoltaic array, which can easily be maintained this way.
