WEST VALLEY RETREAT

This home was designed as a vacation retreat for two families. It has two "wings" attached to a common gathering / entertaining "body". Each wing is a self contained home, with living / dining, three bedrooms, two baths, and laundry. The central body has two main spaces: one for entertaining and one for games.
