On the Boards: Farm-Creek Renderings

Some projects are just so exciting that we have to share the progress renderings.  The Farm-Creek Residence currently in schematic design is one of those.

This combination of people and place hits the mark on so many levels: a renovation & addition to create a family’s forever home, on land mostly dedicated to farming, with a blue-line creek lined with heritage oaks running across the southern edge of the property.  Check check, check, and check!

“If a property, say a small farm, has one owner, then the one owner has an effective and assured, if limited, control over it as long as he or she can afford to own it, and is free to sell it or use it, and (I will add) free to use it poorly or well. It is clear also that effective ownership of a small property is personal and therefore can, at least possibly, be intimate, familial, and affectionate.” – Wendell Berry, “It All Turns on Affection” (2012)

Over the next couple of posts we will share some of the process to get to this point.
