This is Napa Residence in Hills Above Napa Valley. The house was designed by Turbull Griffin Haesloop Architects. According to the designer : This 2500 square foot house perches on a steeply sloped site surrounded by oak trees with views to the valley beyond. The tall uphill façade of the house and the adjacent bermed garages form an entry courtyard to the residence. Beyond the mostly solid courtyard wall, the house unfolds and projects out over the slope: the roof plane fans open to follow the crenellations of a window wall that fills the interior spaces with daylight and steps outward to frame dramatic views. The living room opens onto a cantilevered deck, built around a mature oak tree that offers shade and filtered light.

Here are pictures of farmhouse design. Since the original structure is historically significant, our design approach was to demolish the addition and replace it with a new one that allowed the kitchen to move out of the historic house. Roofing the kitchen with translucent panels allows warm southern light to flow into the house. New axial openings transform the small dark historic rooms. A deck now connects the house to its large side yard and the creek. Designed by TGHA-Architects.

Designed by Turbull Griffin Haesloop Architects.

This is Vail Valley Residence, brick house design with watercourse, located in Avon, Colorado. The clients wanted a house intertwined with the landscape and watercourse. Between the cabins the ‘connective tissue’ executed in mahogany window wall-contrasts with the solid cabins. The exterior flows through the house and the sound of water comes into almost every room. The long southern exposures maximizes solar gain and creates sun pockets. Designed by CCY Architects.
