Aidlin Darling Design Creates a Stunning Home on a Hill in Napa Valley<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

IIDA Award Winner for Residences<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Aidlin Darling Design<\/a> and \u201cpassionate clients with exquisite taste and humble values,\u201d according to co-partner Joshua Aidlin, this house, perched atop 10 acres overlooking California\u2019s Napa Valley, is a phoenix rising from the ashes. Literally. The firm\u2019s original design was destroyed by a wildfire midway through construction. Fearless, owner and architect were determined to rebuild, making the resulting 4,000-square-foot home both resilient and an homage to its owners, specifically, the entrepreneur husband\u2019s rural Welsh roots and the wife, who\u2019s transitioning from her high-power law career to a passion for farming. Ergo the project\u2019s name, Three Gables. The moniker also serves as the organizing scheme, since the residence is composed of three structures, each with said roof formation and built of board-formed concrete, standing-seam steel, and glass, with weathering steel used for landscape walls at the open-air entry procession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each structure is dedicated to a family member. The main house is the project\u2019s heart, containing the industrial kitchen and living-dining expanse with an oak ceiling and access to a pair of cantilevered decks. Upstairs, an open loft is conceived as a study area for the couple\u2019s son. Similarly, the wife\u2019s office is an airy expanse accessed by a rooftop bridge setting up a treehouselike environment. The husband\u2019s retreat is conveniently located over the garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
