Semmes has finessed this large tree limb into the entry as a feature in this unique straw bale home.  Collaborating with the homeowner and architect, Paul Poirier and Associates, this creative vision is on it’s way to becoming a reality.

Arroyo Grande Addition

Semmes & Company, taking advantage of the clear skies, began excavating for this 1,400 square foot addition in Arroyo Grande. The home will be a place for family to continue gathering generations from now and Semmes is proud to help bring this vision to life. Watch for updates as progress continues.

Santa Ynez Strawbale

December 23rd, 2011

Check out this Ferro Concrete garden wall! Formed with coated rebar that was secured in concrete footings and wrapped with a special lath and waterproofing paper; this serpentine garden wall embraces the outdoor living space.  Privacy and a break for the wind are just a couple of the benefits of this landscape element. The free-form ability of this method of construction allows for ample creativity as sitting areas and fountains are easily incorporated into the shape.

Guest House Goes Bamboo

November 3rd, 2011

This Guest House has been designed and built with extreme chemical sensitivity in mind. The owners chose to have their cabinets build from bamboo- a rapidly renewable, formaldehyde free product. Green Goods constructed these cabinets and had them finished with a durable finish that is free of off-gassing toxins.

Paso Robles View

September 7th, 2011

As framing moves along on this multifamily home nestled into the hills of Paso Robles, you can really start to see how the views will be highlighted in the window openings. We are right on track to have the roof all dried-in before any threat of serious rain.
