Perched above Napa Valley, the Poetry Inn is a unique destination that merges land and sky. The site provides guest with a birds’ eye view of the valley while being connected to the sky, birds, moon and stars. The new Sky Gate welcomes guests and introduces the idea of being connected to the sky. The gate design was inspired by the sky and laser cut shapes perforate the corten metal, and LED lights illuminate the gate and create a starry glow at night. Twinkling lights in the tree canopy create a magical entry as guests ascend to the property.
Corten steel signage at a key vehicular turn welcome guests and continue the celebration of sky. Rock outcroppings enhance the existing rocky terrain and drought tolerant planting complements the native landscape while providing a pop of color.
