At Lars Langberg Architects the design process is explored through context, common sense, and collaboration: context of the needs of the client and the character of the site; common sense through wise use of resources, careful siting, and overall sustainable building principles; and collaboration through listening and open communication with clients, builders, and consultants. By following these principles, we create truly satisfying projects of lasting comfort and beauty. Lars Langberg Architects was founded in Sonoma County by Lars in 2003 after he relocated with his family from San Francisco.
Looking to increase the capacity and quality of guest accommodations for residential workshops, we were asked to design three new buildings for the iconic Arts & Ecology Center. One is a fully accessible studio unit, and the other two are three-bedroom buildings with a shared bath. All are sited adjacent to the central core, joining two yurt bunkhouses to create the guest house village. The forms were generated in part to harken to the original, private housing units on site, and also to both nestle against the hillside and open up to the view of the extensive gardens.
