Caner/Beier Residence

Located on a steep, west facing slope in Napa County, the residence nestles into a saddle in the land tucked behind a small knoll. Segmenting the program into four individual structures take advantage of the views and reinforces the connection with the site.

The master suite, at the far end of the structure, opens out onto the pool terrace, and has expansive views of the valley beyond. Reclaimed wood trusses and ceilings work with the PISE walls to add texture, color and depth to the clean-lined modern space.

The majority of the public functions of the home take place in one large great room to the north side of the site. A rammed earth fireplace creates a central hearth, with the kitchen off to the side. The peninsula and island provide plenty of flexible work space, and a built-in dining area allows...
