Nearing the finish!

The project we designed for a hilltop in Winters is nearing completion. Here are a few progress pictures.

We first conceived the design for this house on a windy hilltop during a design charette with the entire SM staff, college interns and the two daughters who will share a bedroom there.

Since then the project has traveled the path to completion largely unchanged from it’s original scheme which features a tall single story kitchen and great room and a two-story bedroom wing, situated to provide shelter from winds and to take advantage of the wide and varied views.

Great Room & Fireplace...

The Great Room features a fireplace, an office nook and an open-beamed ceiling.  It opens out to a patio to the west, and a courtyard to the south.
