Historic Wine Country Home

When the new owners of this historic wine country home contacted interior designers Jim and Michael at Ireko, they expressed their desire that the interior design for their newly rebuilt home not be merely a replication of the former hotel, which is listed on the registry of historical landmarks. Rather, the owners wanted the design to pay homage to the structure that was once the Wake Robin Lodge, while also creating a gracious yet unpretentious and restful retreat for themselves.

The resulting design combines classic mission-style themes with contemporary, Japanesque designs in subtle shades of grays and greens, preserving aspects of the original lodge in many interesting and handsomely quirky ways, but always with an eye to a livable space that maintains that understated Northern California feel.
