Article source: Sean Bailey Vista Del Valle is a 4,400 square feethouse in the Sonoma hills that articulates modern forms, site informed design,and soft clean materials. The project is on a steep site with a view out overthe valley, with distant views of Mt. Diablo and East Bay. Its multi-axis planand gently sloped shed roofs create informal active spaces that look modern inform and yet remain soft with light finely-textured stucco and warm clear-grainhorizontal cedar siding.
Architects: Zimmerman and Associates Project: Vista Del Valle Location: Sonoma,CA Photographer: Bruce Damonte Year of Completion: 2011 Contractor: JMH Consultants Software used: Vectorworks and rhinoceros4.0 and Vray for the renderings.
The plan shapes itself around an outdoorcourtyard with a wood terrace and an infinity-edge pool that extends out fromthe living areas through large openings of operable glass sliding doors. Thekitchen, living, and dining rooms are shaded by a large shed roof overhang thatallows the spaces to remain comfortable year round with ventilation provided byoperable windows and doors and a consistent breeze on the site. The spaces arefull of light provided by the clerestory windows and reveal a floating pitchedroof plane with a high ceiling clad in warm cedar veneer. The project includessolar hot water heating, radiant in floor heating, and no air conditioningthrough appropriate solar orientation and passive ventilation. The houseremains modest in its form from the street but still creates dramatically litand inspiring interior spaces that extend out into the landscape.
