imeless home built for a life of several hundred years.

This complex of four structures on the hilltop location of Bill Graham’s old compound (recycled for this project) nestled within mature trees overlooking one of the Bay Area’s most stunning 360 degree views.

Perhaps the finest rammed earth construction in the country, this home is a testament to an unusually dedicated collaboration between architects, builders and the vision of the owners.
