When remodeling a house, architects are tasked with fixing or altering a preceding architect’s layout. For Bill Willers that preceding architect turned out to be himself. In 2002 he completely renovated and added on to a 1966 Sea Ranch–fashion home in Sonoma, California, for a set of clients whose conventional style included granite countertops, distressed stone tile and Crafts–style light fixtures. Nearly a decade later, those clients moved out and the home’s new owners approached Willers to remodel the distance to their requirements. This time Willers and his clients chose finishes he hopes will last through design tendencies. “This way the insides have longevity and timelessness,” he says. “Light, openness, sense of distance — these things define really good architecture no matter what finishes are. If finishes help that, then it helps the whole thing endure.” at a GlanceWho resides: A investment banker and a potterLocation: Sonoma, CaliforniaSize: Around 3,200…
