Sited on a small hill looking northeast across the Alexander Valley, this project is a pastoral retreat —a place for a large family to gather. The simple roof forms quote the local vernacular barn buildings, and provide a crisp cover for a glass enclosure designed to maximize views and provide excellent daylighting. The plan cascades gently down from the south bedroom wing, through the main living space and finally brings you to the pool positioned on a promontory directing you to the hills beyond.
