Our Projects

Alexander Residence
A 3000 SF Curved home designed to deflect strong down-canyon winds and maximize views. Commissioned as a rebuild after the Painted Cave fire in 1990, the curved walls of this home and the open spaces within were meant to soothe the soul after a traumatic life experience.

Sanford Winery
A 95,000 SF commercial winery. Features the use of on-site earth material for adobe block construction, use of recycled timbers, passive heating and cooling design, waste water reclaiming system for irrigation of vineyards, and permeable paving. The elements of this design make it a timeless addition to the Santa Ynez Valley.

Fess Parker Winery
A 20,900 SF earth sheltered design of barrel room and steel framed tasting room. One of the first wineries located on the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail in Santa Barbara County, the design of this building was inspired by the outback stations of Australia.  Wide verandas, low stone walls for sitting and sipping wine, and lush green lawns invite one to relax and take a moment to enjoy the day.

Heartwell Residence
A 2,373 SF home recently constructed. The use of Rastra Block (recycled polystyrene material) as an alternative building material, passive cooling design, radiant heating, and photovoltaic panel installation are all prominent features of this home.
