Sonoma Retreat: Gathering between verdant soil and sky
Sonoma County, CA
A place to gather, grow, and celebrate life
This reimagined classic midcentury home serves as a family-centered agrarian retreat, shaped by light, land and connection. The remodel preserved signature features such as the home’s iconic shed roof form, large windows and wood ceilings, while a renovated kitchen defines and anchors the center of the house. This new heart of the home is a white wooden box meant to evoke rural buildings, and is open to the other spaces for gracious living.
Outside, a trellised pavilion anchors a new formally composed flower and vegetable garden. The building shelters outdoor cooking and dining, plus workspace for planting and harvesting. It creates living spaces that connect with the five-acre landscape beyond and provide graceful views of field and sky.
Everyday rituals for a simpler life
Our clients wanted a place where they could slow down and enjoy themselves with their children, extended family and friends. Our design supports this goal by enriching interior spaces and creating new exterior spaces that feel natural and enduring.
Lasting relationships
Collaboration across the project team was rooted in trust and a shared vision. Together with the interior designer, general contractor and the garden designer we created a richly layered home that is both perennial and fresh.
