Facebook has lots of Ads for no monies down solar installation. My house faces west. Don't have much roof facing south.

Just looked up my Mom's cousins house...The Bavinger House.
It was demolished!

Bavinger House

It was built into a creek bank with big windows facing east.
It was shaped like a nautilus shell with no interior walls and used a central fire pit for heating, and circulated water from the creek for cooling.
Rock walls and pond inside the house.
The bedrooms hung from the ceiling like bird cages.
It was very comfortable.

It was designed by Bill Goff but Mom's cousin built it. He was an artist and art professor at Oklahoma University.

Difficult to believe it got demolished. Shame, always thought it was a pretty cool house.
Guess it got demolished because there was no real way to integrate an attached garage or movie room. And the architect and/or Mom's cousin weren't famous enough to make it a landmark. They did have tours for a while and there are online video tours. About everyone I've known that were architects knew about the house.
