The project
Cass Calder Smith Architecture + Interiors worked with the owners of this Nicasio property from 2019 to improve the main house, expand the garage into a recording studio and guest house, and add a pool and hot tub, linked by an orchard garden. It was completed in 2024.
With little water on site, the landscape uses drought-tolerant local plants and targeted irrigation. The pool was moved to sit beside the main house, framed by steel louvred pergolas over timber decks, and the owners chose to remove all gas appliances in favour of efficient electric systems.
