Overlooking a 40-acre wooded area, the Sonoma Wine Country House sits on a hilltop taking advantage of the northern California location by blending naturally into the surrounding landscape.
Built with a modern L-shape floorplan, the home wraps around a poolside terrace to run parallel with the ridge. The interior features a large living area that is fitted with four garage-style doors that open completely. The concrete flooring runs throughout the entire home and out onto the patio creating a seamless indoor/outdoor living space.
Using a palette of natural materials to complement the scenery, the Sonoma Wine Country house has a rustic yet contemporary retreat style on the inside to contrast the minimal exterior finishes for an overall luxuriously modern aesthetic.
