For a San Francisco bachelor who wanted a weekend escape in Sonoma County where he could entertain friends and family, Wade Design Architects conceived a house that merges farmhouse simplicity with modern refinement, a place where outdoor living is the focus and the stunning surroundings become a major design element.
In a striking mix of contemporary design and farmhouse vernacular, Luke and Ani Wade of Wade Design... [+] Architects crafted a weekend home where the second floor cantilevers over the first, creating a sheltered entry. The peaked roof is reminiscent of regional farmhouses. The exterior walls are clad in stucco and vertical cedar siding.
