Starting to Look at the Landscape

The exterior shades and the galvanized stair are in place on the Diaz Farm Family Unit.  This will be the first Agriboard building in California. Landscape architect Michael Lucas has started designing the area surrounding the building.  He and Manny Diaz walked the project on Tuesday.  Michael has designed other areas around the property and it will be great to have things tie together.

Maidman Residence Panel Installation Complete

After a couple days of structural preparation, the roof panels went on in one hour and twenty minutes.  Thanks for the accurate panel package Agriboard.  We will be uploading a movie of the roof panel installation soon.  Chapman construction has a great technique for making short work of this.

We tried to come as close to the existing tree canopies as possible while still allowing enough roof-top sun exposure for a future rooftop BIPV (building integrated photovoltaic) system.  Arborist John Meserve was a big help managing the canopy and root health.  Insofar as it is possible, it would be great to have this residence remain somewhat nestled in the trees that surround this clearing.
