Sacramento is nicknamed the City of Trees, so it made sense for the California State University, Sacramento, team to showcase nature in its D.O.E. Solar Decathlon 2015 project. The team's Reflect Home does just that by embracing the city's sense of expansive greenery.

The team examined elements throughout the city to come up with a contemporary design that combines indoor and outdoor living spaces. For the complete story, see the Solar Decathlon Blog.
