WALLA WALLA RESIDENCE

Set on a south-facing slope surrounded by vineyards, this modern residence was designed to frame the character of the Walla Walla Valley while accommodating long-term living and accessibility. The home’s form—a clean, low-profile “T” configuration—creates two distinct wings: one for communal living and one for private retreat. This layout optimizes daylight and cross-ventilation while orienting every major space toward vineyard and mountain views.

The architecture emphasizes an easy flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, encouraging year-round entertaining and gardening. A sheltered courtyard at the entry provides both privacy and a visual threshold that opens dramatically toward the landscape beyond. Natural textures—board-formed concrete, stone, and warm wood siding—anchor the house to its site while complementing the tones of the surrounding hillsides.

Sustainability measures include high-performance glazing, passive solar orientation, and durable materials chosen for longevity and low maintenance. The result is a timeless, modern home that sits quietly within the landscape while celebrating the lifestyle and environment of Walla Walla’s wine country.
