Napa Art Retreat.

An art collector's home nestled within a stunning Wine Country landscape.

Perched on an idyllic 5-acre Napa County hillside, our design for Napa Art Retreat, a single-family residence, takes advantage of topography to capture sweeping views of the surrounding landscape.

The clients – art patrons, avid entertainers, and Burning Man enthusiasts – desired a home that was a work of art all its own. An expansive indoor-outdoor terrace, conceived of as a display for the client’s art collection, acts as a ‘bridge’ joining the main house to the guest quarters and the outdoors.

In addition to the use of natural materials, a soaking pool, sleeping porch and separate outdoor kitchen further connects the home to its lush site.
