Set back from the Silverado Trail and adjacent to a natural water drainage from the Mayacamas Mountains, the building is carefully integrated into its vineyard surroundings
The project was conceived as a campus of modern yet rustic buildings, each designed to provide a distinct experience within the club’s overall function.
The phased master plan carefully balanced modernization with preservation, ensuring the project’s longevity through and beyond the historical designation process.
Situated on a semi-rural 1.29-acre parcel, the property features a 1950s Ranch-style home with outdated exterior details and an interior in need of significant transformation.
The remodel reimagines the home’s flow and functionality by opening up the interior public spaces, allowing movement and natural ventilation to circulate freely from front to back.
The focal point of the space is the Mugnaini wood-fired oven, positioned on axis with the front door to create a warm, inviting atmosphere as guests arrive.
The design centers around a bold yet minimalist service and display counter, serving as the boundary between the public dining area and the open kitchen.
Located on a rural residential estate in Sonoma County, the train stop sits adjacent to the main residence and serves as the primary station for the owner’s quarter-scale steam engine.
The roof forms, exposed trusses, and intricate “painted lady” detailing bring the design to life, paying tribute to the history and charm of its predecessor while ensuring its legacy endures.
