The tectonic events that produced the specific topography of the site, trajectories of water runoff, wind movement, soil composition, and effects of plant and animal species on the landscape have converged to create the conditions of the site chosen for the Center. Each of these… - [Ubuntu](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ubuntu-pj-vj~1523408) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: The Ubuntu Center provides pediatric HIV testing and treatment, counseling, education, and community empowerment. The design is focused on de-stigmatization and normalization of HIV testing and treatment. It provides access to a state-of-the-art facility in a beleaguered post-apartheid community. The design is a model for sustainable development that begins with environment and extends to the preservation of life. Funded globally and operated locally, Ubuntu reflects a world defined by unprecede… - [Yountville House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/yountville-house-pj-vj~1523388) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Grasslands](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grasslands-pj-vj~1523483) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: The Grasslands home was born out of and celebrates the beautiful but fragile grassland ecology of the Carmel Valley. Our client’s desire to actively simplify his lifestyle to the most essential elements inclusive of space clearly drove sensibilities in the design. In addition the home features a precision, derived from the client’s love of flight, a grounded-ness from his love of books and the love of his horse. To meet the simplistic beauty of the scope, the home consists of three interconnecte… - [Pinon Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pinon-ranch-pj-vj~1523487) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: Portola Valley has a heritage of horse ranching among pristine native woodland / grassland habitats. This situation gave rise to an architectural expression that perpetuates this culture, while fostering a responsible cohabitation of the land. With enough time on site, we were able to trace the game paths that traversed the site from East to West. These daily and seasonal routes connected the site to the bigger landscape of Canyon and its eventual merge with the Portola Valley. We situated all t… - [Sentinel Ridge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sentinel-ridge-pj-vj~1523495) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: Sentinel stretches across the brow of a winding grade break high above the Napa Valley. This seasonal residence was conceived as an agrarian compound which draws inspiration from its agricultural roots and takes a leap forward in innovative construction and a modern expression of timber and steel craft. A gently curving gravel drive circuits the lower end of the vineyard, announcing the arrival on the property. The drive slowly straightens to align with the vineyard rows to the North and the lon… - [Bodega Bauer](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bodega-bauer-pj-vj~1523500) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: Our ambition for Bodega Bauer was to create an architecture that was informed by the same particularities of the earth which are embodied in the wine of the region. Siting and materiality are guided by the subtleties of sun and wind exposure, climate, the unexpected nuances of each season, and the presence and absence of water and shade. The Incan irrigation technology that made the region habitable since pre-Columbian times by channeling snow melt from the Andes, was a powerful source of inspir… - [Zinfandel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/zinfandel-pj-vj~1523474) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: Situated amongst continuous blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon and old head-pruned Zinfandel, the design is conceived as a community of buildings which extend the property’s agrarian history while hosting the growing family’s modern lifestyle. Forming the property’s North Eastern corner is a generations old wind break tall trees which breaks the valley’s horizontal expanse. The family of gable-end structures nestles up to the enclave created by the trees. A majestic Valley Oak forms the starting point… - [Forty-One Oaks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/forty-one-oaks-pj-vj~1523376) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: Set amongst a splendid display of forty-one oaks, the design for this family residence demanded an intimate knowledge and respectful acceptance of the trees as the indigenous inhabitants of the space. Crafted from this symbiotic relationship, the architecture found natural placement in the beautiful spaces between the forty-one, acknowledging their presence and pedagogy. Conceived as a series of interconnected pavilions, the home hovers slightly above the native grasslands as it settles down amo… - [Hillside Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hillside-residence-pj-vj~28962) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: Situated in a pocket of classic Oak woodlands in Portola valley, the site of this home addition had partial views of the incredible landscape below, but lacked physical access to its full splendor. Analogous to a fallen log, the addition extends out from the original home to inhabit the slope, laying host to a new and unexpected habitable micro-environment. Gently cascading down the hillside, it echoes the natural slope of the site with a long, broad flowing stair lined with panoramic windows to… - [Woodview Terrace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodview-terrace-pj-vj~67364) - Location: Los Altos, CA - Photos: 11 - Description: Woodview Terrace began as a remodel to an aging mid-century Los Altos house. The cluttered interior partitions where removed, ceilings lifted, and large openings created to allow natural light in, and provide easy access to the surrounding gardens. Centered around the kitchen, the great room is open and airy, with plenty of space to cook inside and out, and even for the kids and guests to join in. The kitchen functions as an island in the larger context of the living and dining spaces. It is an… - [Cebalo Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cebalo-residence-pj-vj~28964) - Location: atherton, CA - Photos: 6 - [Coastside Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coastside-residence-pj-vj~28966) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Twin Peaks House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/twin-peaks-house-pj-vj~28968) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Lupine House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lupine-house-pj-vj~28967) - Location: Los Altos Hills, CA - Photos: 8 - [Woodlands House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodlands-house-pj-vj~28965) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Jay Street Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jay-street-residence-pj-vj~28963) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 [See all 18 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/field-architecture-pfvwus-pf~1761725711) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
