Given how carefully this project was analyzed by those carrying it out, I’m sure there is a reason their use was deemed ‘green’ despite the transportation/fuel costs. (For example, not sure what would have happened to them if they had remained in Minnesota.)

And yes, the Portola Valley area is pretty idyllic. My younger son went to Stanford, which is nearby, and the temps at night are cool enough that apparently they don’t have mosquitos – sweet.

I don’t know how green it is to bring boulders from Minnesota but it does answer the question of what kind of home to build in paradise. Not every area could support the notion of joining the inside and outside without screens for the insects or reliance on air conditioning (think East Coast for example…).
