American design studio Schwartz and Architecture created the Diamond ADU, which is a cedar-clad structure that is found in the historic town of Sonoma in Northern California. The home is designed as “a jumping-off point for a modern wine country design,” as described by the firm.
The entire space is comprised of a main house along with various other buildings that come together seamlessly. The main inspiration behind the ADU is drawn from the farm structures that are scattered across Sonoma Calley. The team explains, “Their original, steeply sloped roofs are now drooping into low-slung structures, peeling apart, allowing in unexpected puddles of natural light, and revealing fragments of their interior framing to the outside elements.”
