ClientPrivate Owners

Nestled on a Northern California hillside, this private residence negotiates a complex undulating site with sensitivity and earnestness. Structures are arranged to exploit the site’s diversity of views, foliage, and topography. The design embodies the agrarian character of an active farm, reflecting its owners' sensibility and ethos. Approached through a winding shaded drive, the home presents itself modestly amongst heritage oaks and a steep wooded hillside. The home is composed of a series of indoor and covered outdoor spaces, each with a distinct relationship to the surrounding landscape.
