This private residence on a 450-acre site in Northern California weaves the story of the land into its interior design, celebrating the connection between people and place. A core philosophy of the design was creating visual and physical harmony between the interior and its natural surroundings.
The house’s form, a long gable roof, sits with strong yet simple elegance atop the hill. The dark exterior palette blends in the with the bark of nearby trees. Inside, natural wood echoes the tones of the landscape while a minimal palette provides a calm respite from the daily hustle and bustle of an active family. Materials sourced directly from the property, fallen oaks and redwoods, were created into tables, benches, headboards, and milled siding. End grain and joinery are celebrated throughout, highlighting artisanal craftsmanship and a deep respect for natural materials.
Bracketing the main gathering spaces are two open-air passages, or "dog trots," which serve as an entryway and outdoor gathering spaces. These passages divide private quarters from the communal areas. Between them, one large common space designed for cooking, dining, and play fosters a sense of connection to each other and to the land. Large openings in these areas slide into the walls, transforming the interior into an open-air pavilion that seamlessly transitions to the meadow and oak grove outside.
Furniture was designed in collaboration with an interior designer that embody the values of connection and sustainability. A single fallen tree was transformed into a twelve-seat dining table, anchoring the family’s shared experiences. Custom couches around the four-sided fireplace serve as central gathering points, enhancing comfort and connection. Then master suite and guest bedrooms bracket the communal space, offering a balance of privacy and togetherness. Smaller, intimate spaces such as the reading nook provide moments of respite away from the communal areas.
