Northern California setting

Last week was the setting of a home designed by Michelle Kaufmann on an absolutely gorgeous sight in the middle of Northern California wine country.  What began as an overcast morning quickly turned into a beautiful day, over the course of which the house went up without a hitch.  The main home is made up of four main modules and two roof modules set over the center living room.  A detached seventh module that will serve as an office was set on top of what will be a site-built garage.  Durable, low-maintenance cedar planks and cement planks flank the exteriors of the modules, which will soon be surrounded with composite decking made from recycled plastic and wood scraps.  Indoors are recycled glass tile, bamboo flooring, no-VOC paint, low flow plumbing fixtures, CFL lamps, and Energy Star appliances.
