VINES RESIDENCE

The architectural sequence of the home is defined by intentional sightlines and a thoughtful pacing of space. Upon arrival, rather than stepping immediately into the primary living areas, guests enter a sheltered foyer that aligns directly on an axis with the courtyard garden. This immediate visual connection to nature grounds the architecture and draws the eye outward before the interior volume expands into the vaulted great room.

Within this expansive main volume, the living and dining areas flow together in a fully open-concept plan. Instead of utilizing physical barriers, the spaces are subtly defined by tailored lighting and curated furniture placement, allowing the clients' art collection and the surrounding vineyard views to take precedence. Overhead, exposed structural beams reference traditional Japanese craftsmanship, introducing visual warmth that breaks down the scale of the vaulted ceiling and ensures the room feels intimate despite its impressive height.

A continuous roofline protects the home's exterior, utilizing deep eaves to provide passive solar shading on the south and east facades. Coupled with a material palette of warm wood, textured stone, and charred cedar, the residence is a quiet, highly tailored environment designed to age gracefully within the landscape.
