Klopf Architecture has designed this spectacular hilltop house that is sited to take advantage of the sweeping views over Sonoma Valley, California. Inspired by another mid-century modern home the client owned, this new residence represents a much larger 21st-century version built into the gently sloping hillside to take advantage of the views.
The quiet front facade leads guests into a formal entry that divides the house into private and public spaces. Rounding the corner into the great room, one is immediately hit by the breathtaking view that extends outward beyond the infinity pool and deck through a continuous wall of glass.

In the opposite direction, each of the three bedrooms was designed with its own seating area and bathroom, creating private suites for family members and guests alike.
The linear design and open, flowing living spaces provide almost every room with outdoor access to the expansive patio, protected from the Sonoma heat by deep overhangs.
Warm woods, clean lines, and a rhythmic post and beam ceiling design create a homey feeling of rest and relaxation, evoking the essence of modern California living.
What We Love: This hilltop house is perfectly positioned on its site to maximize magnificent views over Sonoma Valley wine country. Boasting an incredible indoor-outdoor living experience helps to expand the floor plan while connecting with the surrounding natural landscape. We are loving the sumptuous outdoor spaces with an expansive deck and fabulous swimming pool that are perfect for entertaining family and friends.
