Green developer Phil Sherburne is putting the final touches on his latest venture, the Bardessono hotel in Napa Valley, for a February opening. Designed by WATG's Seattle office, the 62-room luxury hotel and spa is full of eco-friendly details. The property will obtain approximately half of its electricity needs from a 200-kilowatt photovoltaic solar system mounted and concealed atop the hotel's flat-topped roofs. To heat and cool guestrooms as well as the property's domestic water supply, a system of 82 geothermal wells were drilled to work with a specially developed ground source heat pump system. Bardessono also makes use of "upcycled" materials such as recycled steel, green glass tiles, and fly ash concrete. Throughout the property, WATG is using salvaged wood from locally sourced Monterey cypress, walnut, redwood, and eucalyptus trees. Locally quarried tufa stone, salvaged and re-cut from the Bardessono family's original homestead, adorns the hotel's entryway as well as its reception and dining areas. The hotel will also implement low-water use, on-site waste management, and LED and fluorescent lighting.
A rooftop swimming pool features private poolside cabanas and a pizza oven. Guestrooms feature generous amounts of natural light as well as their own private landscaped courtyard. All rooms are equipped for in-room spa services, and some feature both indoor and outdoor showers. Bed linens, towels, and robes are made from locally sourced, green-certified organic cotton. Sherburne hired a team of artisans to craft interior furnishings.
The project will seek LEED Platinum certification.
