This is a large parcel of land at the end of Patrick road in Napa. A hill at the center of the property is between the two key amenities, a beautiful lake to the south, and a breathtaking view of the valley to the north. This hilltop pivot is the site for the house. The hill is crowned with a donut shaped building resting on the hill, preserving the sloped landscape at the center as a courtyard through which the entry climbs. Sun is collected through this court. It provides sheltered outdoor spaces. The living areas face the large view of the valley, the sleeping areas the tranquility of the lake.
