A long overdue visit to Alberobello, Puglia, Italy a UNESCO world heritage site. First saw these strange structures in an undergrad lecture, then later in 1990 from the train on my way to Athens Greece hoping to work for my thesis advisor in Athens, Greece on the Acropolis Museum Competition…..

I learned back in 2020 that Albert Frey’s lost Aluminaire House was to be moved from Pennsylvania (where it had been stored in a shipping container for a couple of decades) and reassembled at the Palm Springs Art Museum. Unfortunately for me this would happen after moving back to NorCal in 2022. I have only known of this house through a few old photographs from the 1930’s. I was excited to meet the mother of a new NorCal friend who lives in the neighborhood who is a docent at the PSAM. Ellen was kind enough not only to invite us to Oscar’s party at her home in Palm Springs, but also, on our way back up north to give us a little tour of the Aluminaire and some of its history. What a great visit with her and to finally see the architectural equivalent of an automotive Barn Find at its new home… thank you Ellen for your hospitality.

Remodel of a house located in Sonoma County & adjacent to the town of Kenwood in The Valley of The Moon. Cork plank flooring throughout, a nod to being located in the heart of Wine Country. The remodel included removal of partition wall between the living and kitchen areas as well as replacing all existing cabinetry. Thanks to Charlton Cabinets for making the trip to install over two phases from Southern California. More in bio above….
