Sonoma Mediterranean Magic

Seasons have changed. The Fall brings a cooling air and crisp light. In California’s wine country, harvest season is in full swing. We recently had the opportunity to visit a project in Sonoma, CA completed Summer of 2021. A true collaboration, this family house evokes the best of wine country living. Our design challenge was to create a Mediterranean-Mission aesthetic that is both original unto itself and rooted in local vernacular. It's a project that exemplifies our design ethos of always referencing context, purpose and place.

Our clients approached us in 2019 having already lived in the house for close to 7 years. But the house itself was nicely situated on the property. It just needed to be re-worked. My initial impression was that the house and property felt it lent itself to more of a Sonoma-Mission style than Tuscan which also resonated with our clients aesthetic preferences. We wanted to combine this with a Mediterranean vibe that would feel fresh, light and casual.
