瓦尔登工作室是一个前修剪包装设施，除了一个工作的葡萄园之外，还与艺术相关的办公室，艺术家工作室和租赁的商业空间进行了翻新。业主，艺术的热忱的赞助人购买了该物业，目的是将旧仓库改建为附近牧场的支持设施，这里是着名的特定地点的雕塑系列。

向俄罗斯河提供改造后的防洪建筑的要求启发了最终的设计理念：一系列延伸到葡萄园海域的码头。这种直接的组合，用限制的材料调色表现，反映了较大农业景观的规模和质量。平面景观是通过放置标本橄榄树来表达的，这些橄榄树在巨大景观的前景中提供了焦点元素。

50平方米的停车场融入了低石墙，树木，蔬菜花园，户外活动用餐区和博彩球场等设计。破碎的屋顶砾石地毯统一了设计，覆盖了除农业区域以外的大部分地面。该材料是可渗透的，具有低反照率，减少径流和反射热。为了符合ADA要求，砾石在旅行路径上安装有砾石铺路的环，以允许轮椅通道。

Walden Studios, a former prune packing facility, is renovated as a mixed-use complex with arts-related offices, artist studios and leased commercial space in addition to a working vineyard. The owner, an avid patron of the arts, purchased the property with the intention of renovating the old warehouse into a support facility for his nearby ranch, which is home to a renowned collection of site-specific sculpture.

A requirement to raise the renovated building for flood protection from the Russian River inspired the resulting design concept: a series of piers extending out into a sea of vineyards. This straightforward composition, expressed with a restrained palette of materials, reflects the scale and quality of the larger agricultural landscape. The planar landscape is articulated by the placement of specimen olive trees which provide focal elements in the foreground of the immense landscape beyond.

Parking for 50 cars is integrated into the design with low stone walls, allees of trees, a vegetable garden, outdoor event dining area and a bocce ball court. A carpet of crushed roofing gravel unifies the design, covering most of the ground plane except for the agricultural areas. The material is permeable and has a low albedo, reducing runoff and reflected heat. To comply with ADA requirements, the gravel is fitted with rings of Gravel Pave in the paths of travel to allow wheelchair access.
