American design studio Feldman Architecture has created the Phoenix residence. It is a holiday home with compotrary accents nestled on a hilltop in Sonoma County. The home replaces a home that was once destroyed by a fire and it features outdoor spaces that create 'calm moments of immersion' in the landscape. The holiday residence overlooks the region including Mount Saint Helena.
The team explains, "The original layout situated the pool significantly downslope of the house, resulting in a disconnect between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Due to the complexities of the steep site, our design team faced the challenging task of relocating the pool to improve its relationship with both the home and the pool house."
