Cathy Schwabe Architecture Hi -
I am not sure I understand this question - if what you are asking is where is this house located, the answer is in Forestville, California.
Thanks,
Cathy

What is the siding material (including finish) and the name of the colors for the door and windows? Thanks. »
· · Comment · 8 months ago
Cathy Schwabe Architecture Hi-
the siding is western red cedar -- board and batten ( 2 x 2's over 1 x 8's) with a Cabot Transparent Clear Stain Sealer --
The windows are Marvin -- aluminum clad - I am pretty sure it is one of their standard colors -- bronze.
The painted wood door -- is a color close to the Marvin clad color -- Wineberry.
Hope this helps,
Cathy

dknowles I think back and forth would be best, but we would need to know what you charge. Also we are not quite ready to build just yet.

Cathy Schwabe Architecture would you mind sending me your email address?
I would prefer taking this off the public thread -- if that is ok.
And or email me at cschwabe@earthlink.net and I will email you back.
Thanks,

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Some designs incorporate the vernacular in both form and materials, as exemplified by these final two examples. The regional modernism of Northern California may embrace flat roofs and stucco walls, but this small studio is covered in wood siding and capped by a sloping roof.
Schwabe nestled the studio into the hillside above the existing two-bedroom cabin. "I was inspired by many things, but the exterior's form was inspired by local Sonoma barns because of their simplicity and practicality," says Schwabe. The studio's small size means a reduced carbon footprint, and Schwabe sited and shaped it to make the most of natural light and ventilation.
Cathy Schwabe designed this versatile cabin in Northern California to serve as a photography studio, a spot for writers' retreats and a dining room (indoors or out) for large gatherings of family and friends.

My practice is strongly influenced by the practice of Joe Esherick, with whom I worked for many years. For me, his often-quoted “How would a farmer do it?” means designing buildings that make sense on their sites, whose practical approach to materials and construction details ensures that they will last and whose design has a straightforward, simple beauty.
