At this Sonoma County vineyard home, the landscape by Bernard Trainor has a flow in which modern architecture meets natural terrain.
Strip concrete pavers poured on site mirror the shape of the home and stretch from the entry courtyard into the surrounding landscape. The trees are a fruitless olive variety, Olea europaea “Wilsonii.”
The south side of the home capitalizes on stunning vistas of the pinot noir vineyard.
The stone and glass guest house has sweeping views of the infinity-edge pool and a grove of Quercus douglasii, California Blue Oak.
A concrete stairway designed by Trainor winds through native fescue grasses and connects to a gravel courtyard with bocce court, fire pit and seating area.
