Set on a sloping site overlooking the fragrant vineyards of the Napa Valley in California is the Whitehall Lane home from Dowling Studios.
The interior has the gentle sleepy good quality of a Beatrix Potter illustration.
You can practically smell the sweet country smell of the ripening grapes in the close by vineyards.
The afternoon sun warms a generous hallway that lays a broad path through the interior.
Each end of the wide hallway opens out to the wooded hillside past.
An unusually shaped volume generates a protected enclave behind the residence, to bask in the gentle buzzy warmth of Sonoma afternoons.
Shade is extremely essential for the Northern California region’s stupefyingly sizzling and still summer time days.
This room overlooks a pool in a courtyard behind the major property.
Sharing that room, a one,200 sq ft guest property faces the pool.
This guest property is beyond the main property in the back, creating a protected courtyard area.
The completely cedar-clad exterior is the 2 modern and comforting.
Standard of the style that is the 2 minimum and comfortably civilized, the bedroom has a fire for cold evenings.
It warms stone hearth that extends around under the windows.
The calm, virtually bland warmth of the interior is enhanced by the use of a extremely warm white all through, offset by a wide plank walnut floor.
Even the extremely down to earth bathroom is gently bathed in warm sunshine from unusually huge, generous windows.
The sense of silence throughout this very charming property is totally beguiling.
Befitting the super wide hallway, the front door is equally generous.
It is a welcoming and even a loving property, a uncommon architectural feat.
