THIESSEN HOMES

Orrin Thiessen has more than 45 years of experience in quality residential and commercial construction including subdivisions and urban revitalization. Three of these projects are Graton’s downtown, Town Green Village in downtown Windsor and Occidental’s Harmony Village. High density, mixed-use projects conserve one of Northern California’s most valuable resources — land. By utilizing only 14 acres in Windsor to create homes and businesses normally built on 50 acres, we helped keep the beautiful landscape of Sonoma County free of unnecessary development and urban sprawl. In this way, remaining open space resources of Sonoma County can be preserved for future generations.

Orrin’s field of study at Sonoma State University was biology but his construction experience fortuitously began in 1971 with his senior project — crafting an octagon cottage completely out of recycled materials. After college Orrin continued his newfound love of residential construction, forming Thiessen Homes in 1972. Orrin and Terri married in 1985 and then together ran their business while raising a family. Terri is a graduate of Santa Rosa Junior College and lived abroad before returning to earn a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts at UCSB. She is a professional decorator and has been a licensed real estate broker since 1987. Orrin holds a business management degree from Ventura College.
