Project Overview

Tucked into a serene setting in the heart of Sonoma County’s Forestville, this private oasis is a unique example of Mid-century modern architecture. The residence was designed in 1947 by architect John Hans Ostwald. It was thoughtfully updated with deep respect for Ostwald’s original vision. The home blends iconic architectural elements such as expansive walls of glass, warm wood finishes, & seamless indoor-outdoor flow with carefully integrated modern upgrades. New site elements included a pool and spa with bubbling water feature, terraces, privacy fencing, plantings, lighting and furnishings. Ostwald was known for his U-shaped floor plans centered around a pool or courtyard, creating a natural extension of indoor living into the landscape. This vision is fully realized by multiple outdoor living spaces that wrap the home, drawing the beauty of the surrounding environment into every room.
