KIM CARROLL
Above : Inside the airy lobby of h2hotel in Healdsburg , CA , designed by San Francisco architect David Baker to attract sustainability minded tourists with its eco-chic decor and environmentally conscious details , guests can chill on low-slung Missoni fabric couches and a rotating display of art , objects , books and games set in a steel display grid . Floating on lobby shelves are Healdsburg ’ s SkLO Studio ’ s colorful misshapen glass sculptures and instead of a gas fireplace , a single flame is surrounded by bound copper Steinway piano wires .
COURTESY OF CHATEAU DE LA BOURLIE
Right : The main wing of the chateau de la Bourlie , whose exterior harkens back to pre-revolutionary France but whose interior has been modernized with maximalist accents , is shared by family and friends alike . The “ sakura ” cherry trees , the walnut tree wood that is sourced from the very forests at La Bourlie or the psychedelic spirals , are present in the room .
