Is it true that in order to feel the ease and comfort in our home, we should maintain its elegance and sophisticated features? Definitely yes, we can undeniably claim that elegance, sophistication and neatness of the house are one great package in considering a comfortable and luxurious house design. Today, we will take a visit to a ranch that also reveals its elegant and trendy fashion. This house is named as the Hupomone Ranch.

Spotted in Petaluma, California USA, this elegant home was built in the year 2014. This has an original 160-acre homestead located in the Chilleno Valley, just three miles west of downtown Petaluma. According the designer, the ranch had been fallow for over 30 years and the owners who are a young family with three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, wanted to build a house that would illustrate their commitment to sustainable farming. Also they consider the serenity and quietness of the location that would certainly provide a sense of place in western Petaluma where farming and ranching are the most important part of their daily lives. Let us see how the designers emphasize the sustainable features in the Hupomone Ranch through the images below.

In the images taken by David Wakely, we have witnessed the features of the house that made it deserving of the award as the certified LEED Platinum and features a lot of energy elements that exceeds the title 24 by over 50 percent. I personally admire the passive heating and cooling with thermal mass and insulation system, geothermal, radiant cooling and heating along with solar and photovoltaic panels that contribute to the house’s energy efficiency. We hope that you did not just enjoy the features that the designers illustrated in this home ranch by Turnbull Griffin Haesloop Architects but also you will apply it in your house.
