This ten thousand square foot residence commands a panoramic view of Sonoma Valley from the West Sonoma Mountains. Harmony with the natural environment was a key objective of the design. Veneer stone walls and reclaimed redwood siding combined to give the project a rustic elegance and worked to weave the mass of the structure into its hillside setting. Windows, skylights and light courts all work together to provide a constant connection with the outside environment from every room in the house.

This single family home on Pacific Heights balances minimal, modern aesthetic with a contextual, urban design approach in order to create an expression which is refined and well suited to its neighbors. The house gives to the street with rich materiality and lush gardens, while creating privacy and a sense of being in an urban oasis. Light filters into the spaces of the house through a series of planted areas, translucent panels and windows and doors.

This reinterpretation of the classic Victorian home strikes a careful balance between enclosure and space for interaction and transparency to the engage the city beyond
