An innovative, modern retreat in Saint Helena, CA, is on the market for $5.2 million. The warehouse space was converted from a cooperage (a place where barrels are made) into a family compound.

The award-winning design by was created by San Francisco–based firm Kuth Ranieri Architects about 15 years ago, and dubbed the “Lodi Bunkhouse.”

The current owners purchased the getaway in 2011 for $1.45 million, according to property records. They completely renovated the home in 2014, opening up and modernizing the space, which now includes resort-style grounds.

The original design of the exterior windows was also updated. Many had been clad in semitransparent fiberglass, which has since been removed to let the sunlight in. 

The 4,799-square-foot home on 1.16 acres retains many original details, including the exposed wood beams throughout.

“The home is perfect for anyone who wants to escape city life and immerse themselves in wine country culture,” says listing agent David Grega. The glass-enclosed space is nestled among orchards, and sits alongside the vineyards and pond of a neighboring property. 

It’s also perfect for a buyer who appreciates an industrial-chic space. 

The open concept features 20-foot-high ceilings, and incorporates glass, concrete, metal, tresses, and wood crossbeams. There are four en suite bedrooms: Three are in a row (bunkhouse style) on the main floor, and the second-floor master suite comes with a private balcony, sitting area, dual-vanity bath, and an office.

Entertaining areas include a chef’s kitchen, family room with a concrete and steel fireplace, and great room. There’s also a media room, dining and living room, and a glass loft with balcony. The wine cellar is on the lower level. 

The large white space and lighting are designed to showcase artwork, as you can see in the listing photos of the owner’s collection. 

The newly landscaped grounds include a one-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse, as well as a pool and spa, patio, outdoor kitchen, and orchard.
