	¡ÚADF Web Magazine¡ÛGlen Ellen Pavilion by Terry & Terry Architecture
	Set amid the rolling vineyards of Glen Ellen, California, this minimalist pavilion by Terry & Terry Architecture serves a dual purpose — as a serene wine-tasting retreat and as a pool house for a private residence. The project carries a poignant history: in 2017, the estate was completely destroyed by the Tubbs Fire, one of California¡Çs most devastating wildfires. Only the pool and surrounding vineyards survived. Today, the new structure stands as both a celebration of landscape and a testament to resilience.
