What We Do
Built for the
California Countryside
Custom Farmhouse Design
From site analysis to final blueprints — we craft homes that feel rooted in the California countryside.
Barn & Agricultural Structures
Functional working barns, equipment storage, and agricultural buildings built for the long haul.
Eco-Friendly Cabin Planning
Off-grid retreat cabins and weekend getaways designed with minimal footprint and maximum warmth.
Land Use Consultation
Navigate county zoning, land subdivision, agricultural easements, and rural property planning.
“Every building should grow naturally from its land, like a tree grows from soil.”
— Josephine Smith, Architect
Our Philosophy
Architecture
rooted in place
We believe good architecture listens before it speaks. Before a single line is drawn, we walk the land, study the light, and learn how the wind moves across your property.
Our designs use local timber, stone, and reclaimed materials wherever possible. We work with small contractors, local suppliers, and county-licensed tradespeople who understand Marin County's building traditions.
- Local materials, honest construction
- Minimal environmental footprint
- Designs that age with the land
- Transparent process, no surprises

Client Stories
Heard from the
People We've Helped
“Josephine really listened to what we wanted — a home that felt like it grew out of the hillside. She designed our farmhouse around the morning light and prevailing winds. We couldn't be happier.”
Margaret & Tom Callahan
Nicasio, CA · Custom Farmhouse
“Working with 72 N Dream Farm on our barn project was a pleasure from start to finish. The permit process went smoothly and the structure is exactly what we needed for our small dairy operation.”
Derek Fontaine
Petaluma, CA · Agricultural Barn
“I had a tricky piece of land with a seasonal creek and oak tree restrictions. Josephine knew exactly how to design around those constraints. The cabin sits perfectly on the site.”
