Project Description

In the heart of wine country, on the border of Sonoma and Napa counties, lie a series of valleys that traditionally have been in agricultural use.  The owners of this valley property wanted to transform it  into a weekend retreat while remaining true to its simple pastoral roots;  Rather than opting for a conventional residence, the family asked us to evolve the existing agricultural and caretaker buildings into a haven that provided comfort in a natural and unpretentious way.

The centerpiece of the reimagined property is a pool with breathtaking views surrounded by a classic California landscape of Live Oaks.  We designed the outdoor spaces with indoor-outdoor living top of mind, providing valley-view lounging areas with shade as well as outdoor dining spaces for al fresco meals.   The unconventional residential buildings seamlessly integrate the rustic charm of the agricultural setting with modern amenities, offering a getaway where the owners can unwind and entertain guests.  A large kitchen adjacent to the pool accommodates both family meals and serves as a catering center for larger gatherings.  Upper levels provide lofted bedrooms.

The transformation of this agricultural property into a weekend haven showcases an evolving definition of luxury living, where existing spaces are reimagined for new uses.
