Updating this 1960s hilltop house on a secluded side road off Napa Valley, the client was interested in working with and customizing the architectural language of the home, not converting it into typical Napa faux-Tuscan. Throughout the project materials from the area's agricultural heritage were used: rusted corrugated metals, concrete and aged barn boards. The home was remodeled inside and out, including a new kitchen and bathrooms, sculptural sun shades and a pivoting steel gate to access the secluded entry courtyard.
