The home was green before green was "cool." Ossipoff used local materials including a locally felled Mokeypod tree, redwood, corrugated aluminum roofing, sugarcane material for ceiling tiles and other common building supplies. It appears Ossipoff had access to a plethora of Japanese woodworkers (perhaps some sort of post WWII confluence and the fact Ossipoff spoke fluent Japanese) who created intricate cabinetry and woodwork abound throughout this home.
