Local Practice ยท Penryn
The studio behind
every Penryn project.
Penryn projects routinely combine an orchard, a vineyard, an entertaining courtyard, and a long arrival drive โ the full Placer wine-country brief on a single property. Our design-build studio is built for that complexity.
Decades of work between Loomis, Penryn, and Newcastle have given us a deep working knowledge of the soils, the irrigation regimes, and the architectural vernacular that distinguishes a wine-country estate from a generic country house.
Explore the four disciplines of our design-build practice โ every Penryn engagement draws from all of them.
Why Penryn Is Different
Wine-country composition
We design vineyard rows, olive allรฉes, and lavender hedging as architectural elements โ not afterthoughts.
Old granite outcrop integration
Penryn parcels often feature granite outcrops that anchor the entire composition. We design with them, lighting them as feature elements after dark.
Small-acreage circulation
1โ3 acre lots benefit from carefully drawn circulation โ entry sequence, central courtyard, service alleys โ that makes the property feel larger and more composed.
Neighborhoods We Know
From Our Studio
9 miles ยท ~15 min from Rocklin from the Lavish Gardens studio in Rocklin. Most Penryn projects receive weekly on-site design walks during the build phase โ proximity that shows up in the finished work.

Penryn.
Luxury Xeriscaping ยท Penryn

Hardscape Design & Construction ยท Penryn
Terraces, walls, and pavements engineered to a 50-year standard โ drawn, specified, and built by a single studio.
Water Features & Ponds ยท Penryn
Cascading waterfalls, koi ponds, and architectural basins designed as the garden's gravitational center.
Outdoor Living Environments ยท Penryn
Kitchens, fireplaces, and shaded pavilions designed as architectural extensions of the home โ not afterthoughts on the patio.
Penryn Questions
What homeowners ask before we start.
Yes โ we've integrated working vineyard blocks of 1/4 to 2 acres into Penryn estates, coordinating row direction, end-post architecture, and harvest access with the rest of the formal landscape.
It's a Penryn signature move. Outcrops become focal points โ uplit, framed by planting, and tied into seating areas or water features so they read as composed features rather than obstacles.
Routinely. Penryn arrival sequences โ gate, allรฉe, entry court โ are designed as architectural processionals with shielded path lighting and accent illumination on specimen trees.
Pressure-tank assessment, dedicated irrigation pump if required, and planting palettes selected for drip efficiency. Most Penryn projects end up using less water than they did before, despite a richer landscape.

Penryn Questions
What homeowners ask before we start.
Will you design a vineyard block as part of the landscape?
Yes โ we've integrated working vineyard blocks of 1/4 to 2 acres into Penryn estates, coordinating row direction, end-post architecture, and harvest access with the rest of the formal landscape.
Can you design around existing granite outcrops?
It's a Penryn signature move. Outcrops become focal points โ uplit, framed by planting, and tied into seating areas or water features so they read as composed features rather than obstacles.
Do you handle long-driveway design and lighting?
Routinely. Penryn arrival sequences โ gate, allรฉe, entry court โ are designed as architectural processionals with shielded path lighting and accent illumination on specimen trees.
How do you accommodate well water and limited pressure?
Pressure-tank assessment, dedicated irrigation pump if required, and planting palettes selected for drip efficiency. Most Penryn projects end up using less water than they did before, despite a richer landscape.
