We’re on the final stretch to completion of this small house at Lake Tulloch, in California’s Central Valley.
The house features a lime based plaster on the exterior, and earth plaster on the interior. The shape and materials of the house are designed to optimize solar gain, summer cooling, and resistance to wildfires. A complete photo voltaic electrical generation is now operating. The finish coats of earth plaster are being mixed, and cabinets are ready to be installed!

Really enjoy the look of that home. It’s such a delight to see the extra freedom in design that is possible in a moderate climate like yours. Speaking as an eastern Ontario builder, with wild extremes of climate to contend with, and plus 5,500 degree days.
beautiful simplicity.
