The main idea of Northwest Peach Farm is about creating a family heirloom for the next generation, including making this house as a venue for their young children’ future weddings and also a playground for the grandchildren.

The systems and materials are chosen carefully by the architect to withstand the elements that only need little or no maintenance. The walls and roof are covered by the copper shingles that have over 100 years of life span. The windows and doors are also selected with the best durability manufactured by a British company with the same industrial steel material.

The house is also designed to change over time with the family and unite them. The interior design and the materials of the house can create a comfortable place when the extended family gathers for their annual visits. Even the wine collection on a glazed wall can be one of the unique elements inside the house.
