Grassi collaborated with Signum Architecture and interior designer Nicole Hollis on Brasswood. The team took an outdated St. Helena factory outlet complex built in the 1970s and transformed it into a rustic European style marketplace. Now two two-story buildings and three lower ones orientate around a tiered courtyard.Signum added clearstory windows, enlarged windows, and doorways, and deleted unnecessary trim. For the winery production facility and hospitality space, a new long barrel-shaped building deftly blends into the hillside with its green living roof and three old-growth oak trees. The exterior walls are stucco with stone veneer accents to reference the local stone wineries.
