This pavilion serves as both a wine-tasting area adjacent to the vineyard and a pool house for a private residence. In 2017, the Tubbs fire completely destroyed the estate, leaving only the pool and vineyards intact. The pavilion extends southward from the main house toward the primary vineyard slope, anchoring the pool area situated between the two structures. The pavilion and pool area are seamlessly integrated into the gentle slope of the site using non-combustible materials. The pavilion’s design strategically incorporates cast-in-place concrete masses at the corners to create expansive open spaces and transparency within the main tasting area. Deep overhangs provide substantial shaded zones for both the pool area and the vineyard deck.
