Trusted by architects
We truly are the architect’s partner. As shepherds of the design vision, we have the ability to not only execute the design, but creatively address challenges in the field. Our progressive and thorough approach to the pre-construction process enables us to work alongside the architect to maintain the integrity of the design, while our attention to detail allows us to bring the architect’s vision to life.
Masters Of Detail
Every detail matters. With delivery methods honed over four decades, long-standing relationships with trusted subcontractors and suppliers, and a deep dedication to quality, we work closely with architects and owners to bring their vision to life.

The Ridge Guest House
This guest house -- the recipient of a 2019 AIA Honor Award -- was the first phase of a compound that also includes a main house, pool and multiple outbuildings, all perched atop a knoll with expansive views of the surrounding hills. Constructed entirely of concrete, the guest house consists of three separate guest accommodations collected under a continuous, multi-gabled roof, which provides a striking silhouette when seen from the adjacent house and pool -- much like a contemporary sculpture set within the landscape.Location: Glen Ellen, CA

Jolie Vue Estate Renovation
Nestled in the upper Russian River Valley, this project involved the complete renovation of a fairytale estate set on an idyllic site directly adjacent to a four-acre lake, surrounded by 17 acres of rolling hills and two acres of Pinot Noir vineyards. Nordby Signature Homes was a partner in both design and execution, advising on layout and providing design detailing to augment the work of Austin-based architect Matt Garcia and interior designer Donna Stockton-Hicks.Location: Healdsburg, CA
