The Barstow/Ensign Residence was completed in 2008 after two of our most exciting and challenging years. The total square footage is 7,500 with 3 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths. This Redwood home manages to show a very modern edge while at the same time conforming to the local vernacular. Regan Bice’s choice of materials, colors, and textures combined with his penchant for challenging details (and ours for carrying them out) brought the owners a truly spectacular home.
