Healdsburg Residence

A young winemaker couple tasked us to build a home that could double as a tasting room and representation of their wine brand. Located at the end of a private tree lined road in the foothills of Healdsburg, the home is situated just below the crest of a small hill and surrounded by vineyards. The form and materiality of the building represent the interior program: On the ground floor, the lower volume represents the weight and calmness of a tasting room and wine cave. The upper two levels are characterized by playful volumetric forms. The reclaimed wood and board and batten pattern work together to create a rich texture to complement and contrast the cement plaster base.
