This California Home Is Tailor-Made for Social Distancing

Complete with freestanding guest “pods” and plenty of indoor-outdoor spaces.

Way back in 2016—long before the phrase social distancing was a part of the lexicon—George Bevan conceived of a contemporary home for a middle-aged couple with three almost-adult children in the hills of Sonoma, California. Seen through the lens of 2020, it turns out that the final design is a nearly perfect match for the many challenges the current pandemic presents.

The main entrance of a Sonoma, California, house designed by George Bevan. The custom exterior shou sugi ban siding is by Delta Millworks, the windows and doors are by Fleetwood Windows & Doors, and the entry lighting is by Bega.
