Private Residence – Rutherford

Location: Rutherford, California

This 4,500 square foot single-story home is located in the Napa Valley above the Silverado Trail. The house sits at the top of a 42-acre site accessed by a private road with a vineyard below. The house has been designed as a weekend home and office for a couple, as well as a place for entertaining and overseeing a new winery venture. The primary massing is a highly ordered series of rectangular volumes clad in precisely finished steel panels. The house is designed to be an integral part of its natural surroundings with elements such as a central living space composed of glass walls that provide a uniquely framed view out to the landscape and slender steel columns and concrete piers that support exposed wood soffits and mirror the many native trees on the site.

The interior material palette ranges from simple plywood ceilings and polished concrete floors to the rich texture of cleft quartzite stone stairs and glass mosaic tiled floors and walls. Interior walls are veneered in plaster in natural tones. Living spaces are further defined by maple-veneered suspended ceilings beneath exposed wooden roof joists. Millwork elements are custom-designed and composed of ebonized and stained maple veneers, brushed stainless steel and silver travertine. The landscape design includes stepped terraces, a lap pool, spa, barbecue and an exterior fireplace set within the natural landscape of boulders and native oak trees.
