A
young family wanted to develop this seventeen acre parcel as their
principal residence and a casual gathering place for extended family and
friends. Central to their desires was easy flow to the lawn, pool, and
gardens, capitalizing on views over the vineyards to the surrounding
wooded hills. In addition to the main house, the property includes a
pool, a pool cabana, and a separate small home that serves as a
part-time residence for the owners’ parents. Sustainable features
include photovoltaic panels, solar hot water and pool heating, radiant
heating, and trellises and roof overhangs for sun control.
