This Modern Contemporary home designed by Johannsen Architects. The challenge for this project is to create a contemporary family home design which is relatively low and strict maintenance of economic, irregular site. The solution is simple design that expands the long, contracts, and curve according to the interior design and built form that responds to the changing shape of the site. With a protected central courtyard, shaded terrace and a sunny swimming pool loggia, outer space is open to various parts of the site and park. Passive heating and cooling and natural ventilation to help reduce the use of A / C, and solar pool heaters and 24,000 L rain water tanks have been integrated into the house this large family.

The grand opening of the Rombeiro Christmas House in Novato every December is located at 34 Devonshire Drive, off of Center Road, in Novato. At night, I’d be willing to wager you can see the place from outer space. This every neighborhood has its decorated houses, but this is a different thing altogether. There are something like 80,000 lights and countless figurines, dioramas, and decorations adorning the front and side yards, walls, and roof of the Rombeiro’s house. If you want to visit the Rombeiro house and other amazing Christmas lights in old-fashioned horse-drawn style, Indian Valley Carriages, located in Novato, stops by during their popular Holiday lights tours. via
