Contemporary Retreat Blends Antique Family Heirlooms

This interior design project was meticulously crafted for a city couple yearning for solace amidst the captivating landscapes of St. Helena, nestled in the picturesque Napa Valley. This remarkable modern home stands as a testament to architectural excellence, capturing the essence of contemporary luxury.

St. Helena Napa Valley living room with large sliding glass doors opening to the backyard pool, connecting indoor seating to outdoor lounge chairs and lush garden views for relaxed luxury indoor outdoor living.
We aimed to create an environment that highlights the artworks’ aesthetic and emotional impact, while ensuring the overall design supports the family’s lifestyle and enjoyment of the art.
