"It has a modern sensibility, but it isn't stark," Anderson Wier says. The resulting home is like a breath of fresh air. Leftover stone slabs from the kitchen were used to create an apron-front marble sink in the nearby laundry room.
The addition of a window between the kitchen and pantry made a wall of custom brass-and-marble shelving unnecessary. Unexpected aspects became cost-saving maneuvers. A subtle, earthy color palette-achieved through furnishings and fixtures–warms the house throughout. "We used tongue-and-groove paneled walls, intricate molding profiles, and beamed and paneled ceilings to create spaces that feel good on their own, even without the added layers of furnishings,” says the designer. A focus on interior architecture was a must to bring a sense of intimacy to the large home. So Anderson Wier got to work designing many of the common spaces. "I was brought on to build upon these ideas and create a more mature and nuanced vision of her family home." "My client built her previous residence and wanted to carry through many of the elements that had worked well into the design of the new property," Anderson Wier explains. The aim was clear: Craft a modern farmhouse grounded by cozy interiors filled with character and elements that highlight the surrounding landscape.įor the four-bedroom home–built during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic-the client served as her own general contractor while her father, a builder, designed it based on the goals she had outlined. When one homeowner set out to build her forever home in Sonoma, California, she tapped Lori Anderson Wier of Anderson Wier Studio to bring the fantasy to fruition.
