2001 Idea Houses - display of interior design - Brief Article

Sunset is packing two new houses with ideas you can use. They'll open in late summer and fall. Call (800) 786-7375 for information.

Kensington Homes, of Folsom, is building our California house (above left) in Serrano, a golf-course community 20 miles east of Sacramento. The design takes its cue from a regional landmark: the 1897 Bourn Cottage at the Empire Mine in Grass Valley. DESIGN: Kevin Patrick O'Brien, Architect, Roseville, CA: Janice Stone Thomas, Stone Wood Design, Sacramento; Ronald J. Allison Landscape Architects, Sacramento

Sherman Homes, of Bellevue, Washington, is building our Northwest house (above right) in Claremont on the Park in Redmond, an infill subdivision. We call it Tudor revival with a twist because it recalls traditional homes in early Seattle neighborhoods, but is contemporary in the way it opens to a multifunctional garden landscape. DESIGN: William Gottlieb, Plan One, Seattle; Steven J. Long, Markie Nelson Interior Design, Seattle; Berger Partnership Landscape Architects, Seattle
