Wine Country Retreat
Sonoma, California

Nestled among the verdant hills of the Sonoma wine country region, this home merges the contemporary and the traditional with its classic pitched roofline and modern approach to spatial organization. The great room encourages fireside gathering and free movement between indoors and outdoors, while operable wooden screens glide along the façade, allowing for flexible exposure to sunlight and landscape.

Élégamment rustique et ouvert des deux côtés, Wine Country Retreat embrasse pleinement la colline chaude et vallonnée sur laquelle il se trouve. Malgré la porosité de l'enveloppe, les chambres à coucher fonctionnent comme des retraites privées de la grande pièce qui les sépare.

The traditional roof form supported with a combination of steel I-beams, ties, and wood rafters—the rhythm of the members highlighted by the balancing light brought in from above—helps broaden our perception of what a prefab home may look like.
