Rising from the ashes of a former fire site on the Mayacamas Mountain Range — the rugged spine dividing Napa and Sonoma — this weekend retreat reclaims a steeply sloped lot with confidence and restraint.
Designed for a single professional and his dog, the compact three-story residence deploys floor-to-ceiling glazing on every level, capturing sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding valleys, while a cascading series of terraces, a lap pool, and outdoor kitchen extend the livable landscape down the hillside. Warm wood accents and vertical sun fins temper a palette of light panel siding and dark steel, grounding a decidedly contemporary form in its rugged natural context.
Though intimate in program, the home opens generously for friends and family, blurring the boundary between inside gathering and outdoor recreation across every floor.
