The Canopy Residence

A ground-up custom home in Santa Cruz, built for the way its owners actually live, warm materials, exacting millwork, and quiet, durable craftsmanship in every room.

From foundation to finish, the Canopy Residence shows what the Collective brings together best: precise carpentry, custom cabinetry and millwork, natural stone and tile, and a calm material palette of warm oak, hand-troweled plaster, and brass.
