Work has begun on Phase II buildings for the Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery in Redwood Valley, CA. This year we completed the master plan for a new Meditation Hall, Public Restrooms, and the Monks' Utility Building (MUB), and are currently working on the construction drawings for the second two buildings. The 2,300 sq. ft. MUB consists of meeting and working spaces, a laundry, bath house, and large covered outdoor court, all unified under a single roof. The exterior materials will harmonize with the buildings we did in Phase I - stucco and hardi-panel w/ batts for the walls, and simple composition shingles for the roofs. The project incorporates photovoltaic panels, hot water panels, and wood-fired heating of the hot water systems. Completion is slated for the fall of 2009.
