A Better Way of Living
IN 2001, STONINGTON COX BEGAN TO DREAM OF BUILDING AN ESTATE ONE DAY FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHERE THE COMMON SPACES COULD BE SHARED TO CREATE A MORE EFFICIENT AND MORE FUN PLACE TO LIVE WHERE FRIENDS CAN SHARE SPONTANEOUS COZY COCKTAILS AND GRAND DINNERS.
POPE STREET RESERVE IS CONCEIVED OF AS A COLLECTIVE SET OF HOMES TO BE BUILT IN ST HELENA, NAPA VALLEY. THIS IS AN ESTATE SETTING, WHERE WALKABILITY, COMMUNITY, COMMON SPACE, AND CONVIVIAL EVENTS ARE THE ORDER OF THE DAY. THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY IS DEFINED BY A HAND BUILT STONE WALL LINED WITH OLIVE TREES AND LAVENDER. THE CENTERPIECE OF THE PLANNED COMMUNITY IS A TOWER FROM THE 1800'S THAT INFUSES THE PROJECT WITH A SENSE OF HISTORY AND PLACE.
