The main pictured on looks pretty goofy, especially because of the bright green, but this sent me down a youtube rabbit hole of seeing a bunch of reallymawesome house tours.

Side note: I find 'new build ecofriendly' architecture liks this awesome, but wonder a lot about adapting existing homes which is surely the most environmentally friendly option. If you were to go all out on making an existing home solarpunk, what would that look like?

I suspect similar to what we're already seeing in terms of "tuning kits" (solar thermic energy kits, decentralized power kits, new insulation...)

The main direction for improvements from an SP perspective would probably be in the realms of

increased efficiency of those kits
decreased production and maintenance requirements for those kits
