Howard Backen / Backen & Backen.
Cerro Studio collaborates with Howard Backen / Backen & Backen on luxury residential projects across Napa. We bring interior architecture, materials specification, FF&E, and the long-form client relationship; partner architects and builders bring the structural, envelope, and construction discipline that make a Cerro home possible.
