This residence for a family of four is located on a hilltop above the Alexander Valley in Healdsburg, California. The design is a response to both the dramatic views from the home’s site and the clients’ wish for a structure that reflects the traditional architectural forms of the region. Abundant outdoor space in the form of trellised, screened and open porches allow for year round enjoyment of the home’s exquisite natural setting, while interior spaces are related to the site through carefully framed views of surrounding oaks and the hills beyond.
