With a 16ft height limit, the possiblities for a 4 bedroom house were limited. i split all the functions into small modules under 16ft and make ‘glassy’ links between them to follow the flow of a normal house. It can get very windy there so there is a sheltered courtyard inside with view thru the ‘glassy’ links to the meadow and sea. Its taken a while to get this unorthodox concept thru the Design Review process, but we are almost there, then building permit and construction!

Bitter SWEET!

Now that a lot of the trees have gone, the views are fantastic. It’s sad, but the Owners remarked…’this was what it looked like when we bought the property 50 years ago!

The construction and the rebuilding continues…. Stay strong Sonoma!
