Winters Cabin Landscape and Interiors

The landscape and interior design for this modern cabin with panoramic views of the Vaca Mountains, nut orchards, ancient oaks and grasslands of the Sacramento Valley, is an exercise in beauty and restraint. We created a fire resistant and drought tolerant landscape that would echo what is inherently beautiful about this particular part of Yolo County. Succulents, rushes and grasses provide year round color and interest without high water demands, and gravel, natural stone and corten steel feel contemporary yet just rustic enough to harmonize with the surrounding terrain. Inside, we designed a new guest room and bath that bring the warm greys of oak bark, and the golden tones of the grassland inside with custom cabinetry, tile work, textiles and furniture design.
