Napa II

New Residence
Yountville, CA

This contemporary farmhouse was designed for a client who loves to cook and entertain in the open air. The plan maximizes mountain sunset, garden and vineyard views from the outdoor cooking, dining, living and pool areas. The building’s form and materials respond to simple vernacular farm buildings in the Napa region through the use of metal roofs and board-and-batten siding. The indoor/outdoor living spaces are comfortably organized along an axis that leads from the front porch through the house to the pool. A large kitchen with zinc countertops is complemented by a trellis-protected exterior food preparation area with free-standing fireplace.
