Ashes & Diamonds — a Napa winery, commissions Los Angeles-based firm Bestor Architecture for a spacious brand new operational complex that is close to downtown. The design of the two volumes embraces the aesthetic of minimalism and the mid-century modernist movement. The all-white buildings that are erected by Bestor Architecture boast a production warehouse and a space where individuals can taste and enjoy the wine.
The Napa winery's buildings are made with "prefabricated steel sections," which ultimately influences the efficiency of construction. Bestor Architecture created a strong visual relationship between the two volumes as one is a modern rectangular building that is frequently broken up with pops of color, while the adjacent structure features a dynamic zig-zag canopy roof.
