Residence at Working Vineyard

Napa Valley, California

This one-story, 8,000 sq. ft. home just outside of Saint Helena was developed to overlook the vineyards and showcase the views of the valley, maximizing the limited flat land available on the property.

The project also comprises a guest house with a gym and an art studio, a vineyard office and a recreational barn.
