Design ConceptThe chief design requirement was to emphasize the buildings response to the climate and thermal changes. The architects took advantage of the night cooling in the valley as an ecological way of design. The design of the self-supporting stone wall was conceived of using local stone. The "gabion" system fulfi lled the three main design objectives: 1) ecological integration of the building with the surrounding vineyard environment; 2) making use of the climate for effi cient thermal system and 3) economical use of materials by eliminating mechanical systems. The climate in the Napa Valley can be very hot during the day and very cool at night. The gabion stonewall had the thermal ability to trap and retain cool air during the night and that air is used to regulate the hot temperature present during the day.
