An 18th-century Japanese technique was employed in the creation of this striking contemporary home in the hills of Sonoma, rendering its facade a deep, rich charcoal-black. Fleetwood windows and doors were chosen for nearly every space, including the auto enthusiast's five-car garage and the living room, where they turn sweeping views into dynamic art. The kitchen is equipped with Gaggenau appliances including a wine refrigerator and a butler's pantry with storage tailored for wine glassware. Guest spaces are located in peaceful pods with walls of glass, and on the cantilevered upper level, two offices are connected by a balcony. The 21.13-acre grounds include a bocce court, a deck, a heated pool, and a pool house with a bath and a kitchen. Other highlights: solar, home theater, gym, plenty of storage, a water purification system, and heat/AC controlled by Nest thermostats. In cooperation with the Sonoma Land Trust, the acreage is protected, allowing for perpetually uninterrupted views
