Sunflower House

Welcome to Sunflower

We believe homes are supposed to be warm. Most of our prior houses have been slapdashed together for need of beds or placed helter skelter around the city near our offices. Those places feel temporary, though —  we want a place to build a real community, a place that feels chosen and not imposed. Every time we see sunflowers, we think of how optimistic they are to try to grow up above the rest of the canopy, host so many pollinators in hopes of their seeds going far. Sunflowers are compound flowers; they look like one bloom, but are really hundreds of florets packed close together.

Things are made of wood, curled with vines, striped with lackadaisical yellow. There's a backyard. It's the kind of place where when the sun streams in just right, you'd want to take a nap on the couch. And why shouldn't you?

America was founded for want of a house on a hill, and now we've got it.
