Dragon’s Home
A vernacular backdrop for family storytelling
AT ZEPHANIAH WINERY, this building is an outbuilding and a backdrop for the star of the show–the car, a 1938 Buick Limited named "The Green Dragon". It’s really cool! The building is a simple, vernacular, matter-of-fact form with board and batten siding and a standing seam metal roof echoing the existing buildings at the winery. A combination of large barn door and garage door openings allow the car and its story to be open to view and shared as an active part of daily life at the winery.
