HEALDSBURG RESIDENCE

Cass Calder Smith Architecture + Interiors designed this 2,200 square foot residence in Healdsburg, California as a modern retreat within the natural beauty of Sonoma wine country. Located on Chalk Hill Road, the home overlooks its vineyard surroundings with expansive glass walls that open to decks, with views of the nearby vineyards and landscape. The house is positioned carefully amongst and between heritage oak trees, acknowledging it as a counterpoint to its environment. It is also situated next to an existing pool and guest house to create a compound, and to enhance an indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

The residence serves as a peaceful getaway from the city for a prominent San Francisco couple who are real estate lawyers and investors. Now close friends with the firm, previous collaborations include renovations to their San Francisco residence, and their apartment in New York City.

The design draws inspiration from mid-century modern homes, with an open-plan layout combining living, dining, and kitchen areas. Also included is a small wine vault as a nod to the home’s wine country location and the owner’s wine collection.

Deep overhangs, supported by slender steel columns, extend the interior ceiling plane to provide shade for comfortable outdoor lounging and dining. Broad glass walls frame the views and fill the interiors with natural light. Interior finishes emphasize natural materials, such as cedar board ceilings, wide plank oak floors, smooth plaster, and painted wood, adding warmth and texture to the space. Fine art, including Donald Judd prints, was incorporated to complement the minimalist interior.

The exterior materials are a combination of smooth cement plater, aluminum-framed glass doors, cedar, and wood decking. New drought-tolerant landscaping tightly surrounds the house, and the small orchard was expanded.

Sustainability features include photovoltaic solar panels, high-efficient windows, doors, and operable skylights for natural ventilation. High-efficient LED lighting and Energy Star appliances were implemented. Drip irrigation was used for water conservation. The concrete used was minimum 25% fly-ash, the lumber is FSC-certified, and the finishes contain a no-to-low level of VOC and formaldehyde. Fire-resistive measures include the cement plaster exterior walls, fire-resistive treated cedar, and Class A fire-rated roofing.
