“Arayasun Construction began alternative building regardless of what others may say.  To see truly, if it were possible.  To my knowledge and experience, fossil fuels are not necessary for heat, cooking or cooling.  Passive solar is sustainable, comfortable and reliable”, quote by owner/builder, Sonny Rodrigues.
