Renovation and adaptive re-use of an existing concrete barn located in scenic Sonoma County to provide 16,000 square feet of office and live/work space.  The building is completely transformed by inserting a new glass building inside the heavy walls, creating interior spaces infused with light.  Large cuts into the existing walls frame views to the surrounding vineyards.  The building sits on a new plinth raised above the floodplain of the the Russian River with views of  the outdoor gardens which extend  like piers into a sea of vineyards.  The mechanical system utilizes geothermal energy for space heating and cooling, as well as underfloor air distribution.  Our energy analysis resulted in a building that exceeds California’s 1998 energy code by 30 percent, and received a PG&E Savings by Design owner’s incentive.
