Conceived as a Family Compound built over time, we began the project with the Main House (also see album for "Occidental Garage") It was intended to serve as a place for weekend enjoyment and family gatherings, with the long goal of full time residency. The Architectural inspiration was the Sonoma County landscape and it's beautiful agricultural vernacular. (A design /construction diary can be found here: http\://www.ezdg.net/works.set.html.).
