Design solutions

Our solutions are not only pleasing to the eye, but are accomplished using the most appropriate materials and engineering solutions. We function as an experienced team leader providing quality collaboration with the many disciplines important to designing your home. We respect who you are. We listen. This is your home and we design according to your needs and desires.

Our approach

Designing a new home, second home, or renovation can be an exciting and rewarding experience.
A custom residence will bring years of comfort and enjoyment.

Energy efficient design

We design with energy efficiency in mind.
Passive solar heating, daylighting and natural cooling can be incorporated cost effectively into most buildings. Durable products and materials
are key to a successful residence. Having designed and built the first straw bale residence in Napa Valley, we are experienced in using sustainable materials, including rammed earth.
