Twig Design LLC Great photo, Mark! You presented a sharp example of good, modern architecture. Regarding the trees @janercorso, I'm no botanist (and perhaps I'm misunderstanding your question) but it looks to me like the background trees are redwood, the center trees are plum, and honey locust on the right.
The next batch of examples are what I call the "village approach." Both the house and garage are composed of smaller volumes, sometimes literally but in most cases formally through the articulation of roofs and exterior walls. In this example the garage, covered in wood with a translucent door, fronts a house that is highly articulated modern composition.
