SONOMA

This one-bedroom concrete jewel box with glass on three sides features a minimalistic yet layered interior that dissolves into the land in Sonoma, California. The owners felt a passionate connection to nature and to their property, a weekend retreat cultivated over time. Searching for a Sonoma County interior designer, the owners tapped Bay Area based Studio Collins Weir to help them articulate their point of view. Intimate yet open to nature, the bathroom employs a luxurious free-standing tub and shower with a serene view of the gardens, pool and property. The home opens to the outdoors on three sides with sliding glass doors, settling the structure seamlessly to the landscape. Inside, a single monumental slab of reclaimed claro walnut anchors the interior. The slab has been crafted by Studio Collins Weir into two vital pieces of furniture, a dining table and coffee table. The two custom pieces act as natural design touchpoints for the wide, entertaining hub of the open-plan first floor. Studio Collins Weir also designed the kitchen, a variety of custom built-ins, carpets and furnishings and detailed the fireplace and throughout the home. Serene blues and greens and earth-hued materials including bleached Douglas fir, white Carrara marble and polished concrete floors pull the outside indoors. Furnishings are tactile and graphic with a California modern sensibility. The majestic live edge dining table is framed by CH20 dining chairs from Carl Hansen and punctuated by the elemental beauty of a pendant by Michael  Anastassiades from The Future Perfect. In the kitchen, the Beetle counter stools are by Gubi. A sectional sofa by B&B Italia and a pair of Cosmos lounge chairs by  Augusto Bozzi frame the living area, which is  grounded by a custom Studio Collins Rug rug produced by Tai Ping Carpets. Timeless furnishings continue upstairs including an Eames Lounge chair and ottoman as well as a coffee table by Alexander Girard in the office.
