We began in 2007 with the mandate to, without starting completely from scratch, turn it into a hacienda befitting its new expatriate Peruvian owners. This was one of those dream projects that maybe only comes along once in a career. I was not only responsible for design, of both building and landscape, but also execution. Normal Construction Administration became almost day to day Construction Supervision. I also became responsible for all finishes selection and some of the furnishings selection. I also designed and built several landscape features.

We began with a late 20th century house....

Soon the program extended and expanded to take in roughly 2 acres of the ranch site.
The landscape became as much of a challenge as the interior.
Entry is just break in the wall.
