We developed a Mediterranean-inspired transitional villa that blends timeless regional character with modern detailing. The design began with an ICF cast-in-place concrete structure for durability, thermal performance, and fire resistance. Smooth stucco finishes, terra-cotta tile roofing, and arched loggias establish Mediterranean warmth, while clean window groupings, steel balcony railings, and crisp lines introduce a contemporary balance. The plan organizes around layered outdoor living, with wide covered loggias on both floors overlooking a terraced landscape and pool. The ADU is discreetly integrated into the slope, offering privacy and flexibility for extended family or guests. Defensible space strategies, fire-resistant materials, and drought-tolerant landscaping were incorporated to reduce fire risk and stabilize the hillside. RESULT The residence rises from the ashes of the Tubbs Fire as a symbol of resilience and renewal. The client now enjoys a hillside retreat that is at once safe, comfortable, and timeless. Outdoor terraces, a pool, and shaded loggias provide year-round livability, while the ADU offers flexibility for multi-generational living. The home balances regional authenticity, modern lifestyle, and wildfire resilience, making it both a sanctuary and a statement of enduring hillside living in Sonoma County.
