A refined take on the classic farmhouse, shaped by the natural landscape of Davis and the legacy of its hometown pioneer, Dr. Celeste Turner Wright. As the first female faculty member with a Ph.D. at UC Davis, Dr. Wright broke boundaries while infusing the campus with decades of theater, poetry, and relentless creative energy. Celeste honors this trailblazing spirit, elevating simple, agrarian country forms into a deeply intellectual, resort-inspired residential experience.
