Northern Wine Country Gateway
Windsor
Contemporary estate construction for Windsor's evolving wine-country landscape. Guest houses, ADUs, and thoughtful additions for modern vineyard properties.
Growing Expertise in Windsor
Windsor represents Northern Sonoma wine country's growth—from agricultural town to established wine-country community. This evolution has created estate properties that blend contemporary design with wine-country lifestyle expectations.
For over 15 years, we have worked on Windsor estates—from contemporary vineyard properties to established homes near town. Each project balances modern design preferences with the area's agricultural character and proximity to both Russian River Valley and Healdsburg.
Our Windsor experience means understanding both contemporary construction expectations and the practical realities of building in a growing wine-country community.
Understanding Windsor's Contemporary Character
Windsor's residential architecture leans contemporary—clean lines, modern materials, and open floor plans that emphasize indoor-outdoor living. Properties range from vineyard estates to modern homes in established neighborhoods.
Guest houses and additions for Windsor properties typically embrace contemporary design while respecting wine-country context. A modern estate near Shiloh Road requires different approaches than an established neighborhood home, but both benefit from thoughtful material selection and site integration.
