Vintner's View

This weekend basecamp in Healdsburg is sited mid-slope in a 33-acre vineyard to take advantage of sweeping views of the Dry Creek Valley below. There is no mistaking you are in wine country. Since the property is a working vineyard, it was important to limit the construction footprint. We terraced two levels of the slope and worked with the architects to link the house lightly into the land.

The house was designed as an open-air pavilion to embrace the sweeping views. Metal and glass panels lift to provide seamless connections to the landscape. To the north, the dark plastered pool reflects the sky. To the south, the fire pit patio sits above the sparkling lights of Healdsburg.

Stewardship of the land and its resources through woodland revitalization, extraction of non-native plants, grasslands restoration and rainwater collection complete the story of this uncontrived retreat.
