"This is probably the most sustainable commercial building in California. It is largely energy independent, non-toxic and built with a high degree of sustainable materials."

Statement by the San Francisco Institute of Architecture (SFIA) 2006

"Environmental learning takes place everywhere at Hidden Villa. The farm, the wilderness areas and even the buildings have much to teach us."
