Design Inspiration

Two places from which I draw nearly endless design inspiration are the Ford GT 40 (FMI see "Go Like Hell" by A.J. Baime) and the Porsche 917 (FMI see "Porsche 917, the Winning Formula" by Peter Morgan).



























And, for good measure, the smoothest BAMF ever:

Fuck Yeah!

Ocean Dunes Home

Home in the North San Diego County hills with a protective courtyard and amazing views.

Icon

"Rollie" Free setting a speed record at Bonneville in 1948 on a Vincent Black Lightning. One of the most iconic photos in motorcycling history. They just don't make them like that (man or machine) any more.

Over San Francisco

Two of my favorite planes over my favorite city (and hometown):

Desert Nights

This home was designed to take advantage of great outdoor living in the California desert.

Napa

This was designed for one of my best friends as a weekend place in Napa.

Two Turntables and a Microphone

This small-house concept uses a turntable to change from kitchen to bath to bedroom.

Tahoe

This was designed as a cabin near South Lake Tahoe, CA. The center column is in a creek bed.

Pool House

Designed this as a guest house/pool house for my brother in San Ramon, CA.

A Bridge to Nowhere

This is a bridge concept for the Northern California coast.

Big Sur

A home designed for a client in Big Sur, CA. The garage was the focus for the client to show off his collection of vintage cars and motorcycles. Think Guggenheim Museum in NYC, but less cold and spartan in feel. Only the garage floor plan is shown here, and is to the right-hand side of the elevation.
