Nestled in the oak trees on a hillside perch up in the Ranch development above Sonoma, the owners of this property had 2 reasons they needed an accessory structure; it would be used for overnight guests, and function as a changing room with an outdoor shower for the husband who swims regularly.

The preferred location on site was just a short walk from the pool, but far enough away that it doesn’t feel like a pool house. However, it would be close enough to an existing fire pit sitting area that it would be a welcome addition for outdoor entertaining. Pathways were adjusted and low retaining walls and plants were added to seamlessly blend it all together.
