The Usonian Cottage
Lynn Hall’s cottage was a prototype for what would become Ray Viner Hall’s version of a Usonian Home. Built upon the original rubble-poured cistern that supplied the main building with water, the cottage rises outward and seemingly clings to the hillside with a ships-prow window that cantilevers off the living room. Both the interior and exterior are clad with oversized redwood shiplap siding — punctuated by Walter’s signature stone work.
Within, the interior ceilings compress and rise as you move from the intimate spaces to the common areas. The kitchen retains the original and fully restored cabinetry. A main living area with a central fireplace features dramatic views of the valley and mountains beyond.
Relax by a bubbling fountain on the rear courtyard or dine al fresco off the kitchen terrace next to the outdoor fireplace. On a clear night you can enjoy a view of the milky way - after all, this is Dark Sky Country.
