For a family with roots in both San Francisco and Sonoma County, home has always meant two things: the energy of the city and the ease of the valley. This ground-up modern residence in Kenwood, California brings both into one — designed by a boutique Bay Area architecture firm that understands how to build beautifully in wine country without compromise.
Replacing an existing home on the same site, this new Sonoma County residence rises vertically out of the ground, claiming its place in the rolling wine country landscape with quiet confidence. Every level opens to prospect — framed views across the Sonoma Valley that shift as you move through the home, from the living spaces at grade to the private suites above. Yet the house is equally defined by refuge: clad in materials chosen to endure the region's very real wildfire risk, this is contemporary residential design in Northern California done responsibly. Beauty and resilience here are not intension — they are the same gesture.
