This Sonoma Wine Country retreat, designed by Surround Architecture along with Total Concepts, is nestled in the hillside among grand heritage oaks and dense redwoods. The design at ‘Dry Creek’ celebrates a family’s deep connection to Sonoma County, California, and their cherished site above the Dry Creek Valley.
The home is designed to showcase views across the valley to Geyser Peak and Mount St. Helena. With its roots firmly planted in the surrounding vineyard, the project team has created a family retreat that will last for generations to come.
Like a watering hole perched on the edge of the forest, the deep blue waters of the swimming pool beckon on a crisp California morning. Just beyond the water, the pool pavilion and swim platform rest lightly on the Earth, ensuring the natural landscape and the vineyard valley views remain undisturbed.

Above: The artistic vision of the homeowners, Arborica, Lucas Lucas Landscape Architecture, and the creative forces of nature conspired to craft this one-of-a-kind bench. Hewn from the charred husk of a prehistoric redwood salvaged just up the coastline, the natural curve of the hollow trunk cascades over a terraced garden designed specially to feature the sculptural seat.
Above: The airy and light-dappled outdoor kitchen hangs gently over the grape vines, like a tree house of weathered steel and ash wood.
