Trellis House

The coastal warm Sonoma climate provided inspiration for this single family residence which led to its site orientation, expansive glazing, natural materials and the union between indoors and out. Located on a 14 acre site in Geyserville CA, Trellis House acts as a central hub for accessory site activities - resting, hiking, camping, yard to table gardening, fishing and swimming. The composition is oriented to take advantage of broad vistas over the Alexander Valley and varied solar exposures that the site afforded. Perched atop a knoll, Trellis House features a compact layout composed of three gabled volumes and a trellis that mediates between the two main volumes of the house. An open plan Living Wing celebrates the Sonoma climate with full height sliding glass doors that open onto the north and south decks expanding the square footage of the public space. The third volume contains two Guest bedrooms nestled gently below the Living Wing defining a casual central outdoor lounge.
