Capriola Residence Schematics










      
The Capriola family has asked us to add an additional wing to their existing residence in Sonoma, CA (also designed by Z + A). These images show the most recently developed design scheme. 
   
A collection of large wood columns are being reused in combination with steel, glass and wood paneling to create the primary material palette for the design which wraps around the side of the lot. With abundant glazing on the north side the scheme would take advantage of appropriate natural lighting and create an intimate connection to the back yard that it defines. Green wall panels and a small courtyard, that incorporates an existing tree, break up the facade while creating ecological additions to the design.
