Nirvana in Sonoma: a spa pavilion for yoga, swimming, steam-bathing, and outdoor dining, designed by SF-based Aidlin Darling Design. The structure is cut into the landscape by two curved earthen walls and overlooks the rolling hills of Sonoma, providing a zen-like retreat from the main rammed-earth house.
