This is an absolutely exquisite use of an existing century-old hay barn. A daring and whimsical insertion of mirrored, conditioned boxes into a salvaged, slatted barn creates a beautiful respite from the wine country summer. The careful application of mirrors amplifies the rustic while avoiding the trivial game of material contrast. The correspondence with the landscape is wonderful. This is architecture for the soul and mind.

From the very beginning, every detail you designed came together to create not just a house but a home. A home that nurtured our family, witnessed countless milestones, and was filled with laughter, joy, and unforgettable moments. Perfectly adapted to each stage, meeting our needs and making life smoother in ways we couldn’t have anticipated.

When the glass walls enclosing the rooms flanking the central outdoor space—living room on one side, family room on the other—are folded away, the area becomes the heart of the home. You get a very pleasant feeling when you see the house in motion. It’s an easy thing to witness here, given the relaxed flow from one area to another. “Living out the story we imagined for our family and our life has been the home’s greatest gift to us.”

The architecture, materials and function were all treated like pieces of artwork. The stunning space feels quintessentially Californian, exemplifying indoor/outdoor living while indulging the family’s love of entertaining and sports.
