Low-lying pavilions form expansive California Meadow House by Olson Kundig

Reflecting pools, a small vineyard and an underground pub feature in this sprawling residence in northern California designed by American firm Olson Kundig.

The project, California Meadow House, is located in Woodside – an affluent town near Silicon Valley. Designed by architect Jim Olson of the Seattle firm Olson Kundig, the residence was created for a client who loves entertaining and social connectedness.

Reflecting pools form part of the sprawling California Meadow House

The house sits on a 3.5-acre (1.4-hectare) property that is divided into two parts: one suggests a human touch upon the landscape, while the other is meant to be wilder in character.

The home is approached via a curved driveway that passes by old-growth olive trees, a small vineyard and a garden.

A small vineyard wraps around the building

Encompassing 17,000 square feet (1,579 square metres), the home consists of low-lying, rectilinear pavilions arranged in an L-shaped formation around outdoor spaces.

"Envisioned as a singular continuous, flowing expression, this family estate designed by Jim Olson links architecture, interior design, art and landscape into an integrated whole," the team said.

Exterior walls are sheathed in stucco and aluminium panels. Trellis-style roof overhangs help shade patios, walkways and large stretches of glass.

"Trellises weave over these spaces, providing shade from the California sun and further blending the home into the landscape," the team said.

A public zone forms the core of the house

At the core of the house is the public zone, including the main living and dining area.

"Unified around the central 'home base' living area, views radiate from this core in four directions across several reflecting pools to vistas into gardens and the nearby Santa Cruz Mountains," the team said.

A wild meadow can be seen through the main suite's panoramic windows

To the east of the public area is the private portion of the residence, including a main suite, office and three children's bedrooms. This part of the dwelling opens toward a wild meadow.

South of the public zone are three auxiliary buildings. One serves as a two-bedroom guesthouse, while the others hold an outdoor living pavilion and a dining pavilion with an underground pub.

A private pub is located underground

The auxiliary buildings are arranged in a staggered formation and echo the organisation of the adjacent vineyard.

Throughout the residence, the team incorporated ample glazing to provide a seamless connection to the outdoors. A U-shaped window in the dining pavilion lowers completely into the ground.

The dining pavilion connects to the outdoors via retractable windows

Earthy finishes were used indoors, such as granite and limestone flooring, cedar ceilings, walnut casework and reclaimed fir wall panelling.

In the subterranean pub, countertops are made of a repurposed wooden telephone pole. Similarly, a salvaged redwood slab was used to clad a bar in the outdoor living pavilion.

Olson designed numerous pieces of decor for the residence, including the dining and living room furniture, exterior lounge furniture, the main suite's bed and nightstands, and several lighting fixtures. Steel, nickel, teak and leather are among the materials used to fabricate the pieces.

"Olson also helped to curate an international contemporary art collection for the owners of the home, complementing its architectural expression," the team added.

A black fireplace anchors the living area

The residence is designed to produce as much energy as it uses. The team incorporated geothermal and hydronic systems for heating and cooling, along with solar panels that cover over half the roof area.

"The result is a home integrated with nature, not only philosophically and visually, but from a practical perspective as well," the architect said.

Founded in 1967, Olson Kundig is known for creating distinctive, modern-style homes in natural settings. Other projects by the firm include the Hale Lana residence in Hawaii, which is lifted above a lava bed, and the Wasatch House in Utah, which consists of pavilions connected by glazed walkways.

Hawaii house by Walker Warner Architects house hugged by volcanic rock

American firm Walker Warner Architects has perched a basalt and cedar-clad holiday home in Hawaii on a mountainside of lava rock with an infinity pool that looks towards the sea.

Named Kua Bay Residence, the house overlooks its namesake on the coast of Kona.

An infinity pool sits between the terrace and the sea

The rooms and spaces of Kua Bay Residence are designed to seamlessly transition into one another, a concept informed by the way in which lava and water flow towards the Pacific Ocean.

"The challenge was to manipulate the site so that the house would blend with the landscape while providing a graceful and multi-layered experience from mountain to sea," said Walker Warner Architects.

A living area opens to the view

Visitors enter at a private driveway, built between dramatic 15-foot-high (5-metre-high) lava rock formations. The rugged landscape reduces Kua Bay Residence's visual impact from the road.

The driveway leads to a sunken car park with a garage, which is hidden from the rest of the property by decorative Corten steel panels that also conceal a small guest house.

Alaskan yellow cedar contrasts with dark basalt

Covered by a green roof, the guest house blends into the lava rocks which tower over it.

"The roof is naturalised with lava rock and native grasses, which further emphasises the building's direct relationship with the site," explained the architecture firm.

The house features reflective pools

Large windows from the guest house's bedroom suite display a small, mountain-facing terrace with a private outdoor shower. The terrace takes the form of a rocky grotto with a reflective water feature designed to mimic molten lava.

Towards the house's main volume, an elevated courtyard runs alongside more reflective pools.

Volcanic rock rings the house

Positioned in parallel to the other side of the courtyard are a cluster of trees and a large lawn, at the end of which sea-views are revealed through the house's floor-to-ceiling glass doors.

Light-coloured Alaskan yellow cedar contrasts with darker basalt and steel to form Kua Bay Residence's main volume, which is filled with similarly light and neutral furnishings to offset darker surroundings.

A bedroom opens on to a pool

A sea-facing traditional Hawaiian lanai, or terrace, opens out onto decking that becomes an infinity pool with expansive views. Kaho'olawe, the smallest of Hawaii's eight main volcanic islands, can be seen on the horizon.

"The house's site captures the stark contrasts between land and sea in Hawaiian topography," said Walker Warner Architects.

Dark stone walls frame openings

Walker Warner Architects is based in San Fransisco, and was founded in 1989. The firm recently transformed a warehouse into a wine tasting room in Healdsburg, California.

Other projects built in volcanic Hawaiian settings include a raised house by Olson Kundig positioned on a lava field, and Phoenix House, a dwelling on Big Island which sits at the base of Kīlauea volcano.
