It’s been almost a year since I received some pics of the Santa Rosa fire rebuild home from 2020, but still worth posting. Seeing what’s there now, as the site continues to heal, it’s hard to remember those first days just after the Tubbs Fire when the terrain was scorched (and radioactive) and littered with burned wreckage of cars and homes. It’s so gratifying to see clients return to their home more responsibly, sustainably, and safer. It’s equally satisfying to see the house begin to integrate itself into the landscape as intended. “Time and patience transforms the mulberry leaf into a silk gown.”
Flattering mention on a manufacturer's website
A thank you note to local NanaWall rep Brad Burden turned into inclusion of the GR Residence in Alamo on the NanaWall website.
Especially gratifying was a dedicated post on NanaWall’s blog. Of course, this was a great collaboration between this practice, Artisan Home Builders of Pacheco, and so many others, including NanaWall, Brad Burden in Emeryville, and Door & Decor, who provided technical support throughout construction and expertly installed the NanaWall system on site.

Note from a Client
It’s always gratifying to receive this kind of feedback from a client. The sincerity of the models in the stock photography really speaks to the heart.
I’ll just leave this right here…
And the gentleman hears it correctly: I do have a wonderful wife.
Visualization...
…in advance of a client meeting tomorrow. Just a quick watercolor rendering on tracing paper to help communicate proposed improvements to a home in Danville: outdoor kitchen, pool, Accessory Dwelling Unit, landscape, and patio areas.
