We have recently completed a substantial re-build of an original Rutenberg Ranch design - which underwent an extensive redesign with the help of Osborn Sharp Architects (designers of the famed Florida House). This asian-influenced green design incorporates large overhanging soffits providing shading to the home, a second story living quarters addition, and creative natural light wells.
