This hilltop farmhouse has been completely renovated by Jennifer Tulley Architects, located in Sonoma County, Northern California. Originally constructed by two brothers in the 1940’s, this home has been transformed from its original modest structure into a spacious, modern yet inviting retreat. The scope of this project entailed: reconfiguring the small, separated rooms into large interconnected spaces, with a better flow and a logical progression along with new windows to capture the incredible views.
A second floor addition increased the size of this house, creating a light-flooded master suite overlooking the Russian River landscape. The homeowners wished to preserve the best features of the original building. The new design focused on reusing the original materials in a modern way, incorporating texture and organic elements into all the spaces. The knotty pine panels were planed and then used as new awnings at the front door, back door and the western facing terrace overlooking the pool. Redwood sheathing now adorns the dining room ceiling, cabinetry and sliding doors throughout.

Above: Due to a tight space of this bathroom, the vanity is 1′-9″ deep and the door is 2′-2″. The vanity is custom made from redwood salvaged from the job site. The tile on the walls is a 3×6 handmade tile from Sonoma Tilemakers. On the window is a vinyl roll down shade from the shade store that can go over the sill.
