Ashes & Diamonds in Napa, California, by Bestor Architecture

The design of this Napa winery takes its cues from mid-century modernism, with a zig-zag roof covering an outdoor eating area next to a larger wine warehouse.

"There are nods to Albert Frey in the portholes and Donald Wexler's folded plate roofs of the mid-century Palm Springs postcard fantasy," said Bestor Architects.
