Project Details

With a goal of creating a private retreat that is as much in tune with nature as possible, a master plan was developed that borrows and uses the energy of the site itself. Wind generation, sun and water collection, and sensitive siting will all help to make this cluster of buildings self sufficient. The structures themselves, including a main house, guest quarters, studios and ranch buildings will be naturally ventilated and made using environmentally sustainable materials in keeping with the spirit of land stewardship.
