This new-construction residence by Signum Architecture perches on a dramatic promontory, offering 270° views of Napa Valley’s vineyards and sky.

A fully openable sliding glass wall aligns the main living room, infinity pool, and an ancient coast live oak—turning the water into a reflective threshold that centers the tree against the valley beyond.

Descending the slope from the residence, the pool’s infinity edge flows seamlessly to a lower deck featuring a custom gabion wall. This wall is designed with a metal-plate bench that discreetly slides open to provide concealed storage, integrating robust materials with sophisticated functionality.

Further down the slope, a flush Ipe wood dining deck accommodates gatherings of twelve at a custom long table. Just beyond, a sunken conversation pit centers on a large steel-bowl fire pit, with two sides of built-in seating and two sides of custom steel planters.

To the north of the kitchen, a floating cargo hammock deck of Ipe and steel is framed by twin live oaks, creating a suspended nook for quiet repose.

Carefully chosen plantings—coast live oak, manzanita, California fescue, lavender, and drifts of Morning Light Miscanthus—soften the geometry. Their textures and colors invite guests to linger and watch the clouds roll by.

This project underscores our commitment to site-responsive design, material integrity, and the choreography of outdoor living above the clouds—it’s a place to ascend, gather, and dream.

Wedgeview is a landscape of angles and alignments, designed to complement a striking new-construction home with floor-to-ceiling glass and curated sightlines to Mount Saint Helena. The architecture orients itself to the view, and the landscape follows suit—layering spatial gestures that echo the home’s geometry and amplify its connection to place.

A dramatic wedge-shaped planter anchors the entry sequence, rising from grade to nearly four feet and drawing the eye toward the home’s angular facade. The potager garden, set at a 30-degree angle to the house, features long Corten steel planters that cascade gently down the backyard slope—creating a dynamic interplay between structure, soil, and season.

Two fountains offer sonic punctuation, while a generous enclosed lawn provides space for the clients’ dogs to roam. The pool, nestled into the vineyard-facing edge of the site, completes the composition with reflective calm.
