Cliff House by Hommeboys Interiors
Cliff House blends natural materials with modern design, showcasing how bespoke details can elevate a project. Designed by Hommeboys Interiors, the home features pieces from their associated firm, Haus of Hommeboys.
Perched on a hillside in Sonoma, California, Cliff House offers sweeping views of verdant shrubbery, bushes and small trees. Beyond providing the coveted indoor-outdoor lifestyle sought by potential buyers, the home is a new build that rises from the ashes of its predecessor, thoughtfully responding to the challenges of the local environment. Inside, a balance of open-plan spaces and enclosed rooms allows for both moments of togetherness and privacy. The exterior is crafted from fire-resistant materials, including smooth marbled stucco, Thermo-ash cladding and metal roofing.
The first level of Cliff House is organised around a spacious family den. A comfortable seating area adjoins the two bedrooms – each having a separate bathroom and closet – as well as a wine cellar, laundry room and storage space. Conversely, the upper level is dedicated to the main social areas and the primary bedroom suite. Expansive glazing features consistently throughout to maximise striking views, while in the kitchen, a corner window opens to further blur the boundary between indoors and out. Outside, residents can enjoy a sauna, outdoor shower and external lounge.
While natural materials connect Cliff House to the surrounding California landscape, bespoke details elevate the project in the signature style of Hommeboys Interiors. Terracotta Zellige tiles, plaster, Roman clay and stone not only enable the home to meet stringent environmental standards but also enhance its generous proportions, enriching the residential experience. Throughout the dwelling, custom cabinetry and furniture highlight the collaborative synergy between Hommeboys Interiors and Haus of Hommeboys. With the parent company involved in every aspect of the project, the creative process was streamlined and produced minimal waste.
Built from the ground up, Cliff House embodies both a distinct personality expressed through organic materials and also a thoughtful approach to fire protection. Hommeboys Interiors responds to the home’s unique context with a design that sets it apart, skilfully balancing custom, textural elements with practical features that ensure longevity.
