Not LEED certified due to owners' wishes to use fallen trees from their property rather than certified wood.

An interesting aspect to this beautiful project is that most of the materials came from the farm/vineyard property itself, including the curly Maple trees used for tables.  The pressed countertops of grape vines and sorghum are also amazing.  View complete construction process
