Rooted in the unique value of each site, Turnbull Griffin Haesloop (TGH) utilizes local materials and vernacular techniques. Its designs seamlessly incorporate sustainable strategies, reinforcing the idea that green design is good design. TGH’s architecture blends buildings into the landscape and vice versa, employing natural ventilation, earth sheltering, and stormwater management with an artistic touch. This monograph, the first to feature TGH’s work, highlights ranch houses nestled in the California foothills and Colorado mountains, along with coastal retreats on the Pacific Ocean.
