This 390 sq ft studio addition to an existing home in Sonoma, California, draws inspiration from the Mourning Dove's behavior and habitat. The project incorporates traditional dovecote elements to create a space that encourages nesting doves, informed by careful research on structure design. It stands in contrast to prevalent modern farmhouse styles by prioritizing scale and environment. The architect’s personal touch creates an inviting atmosphere while maintaining a balance between bespoke design and restraint. Features include twelve nesting boxes, a bird-watching window for interaction with the doves, and an overall theme of movement, craft, nature, and serenity.
This 390 sq ft studio addition takes inspiration from Mourning Doves, emphasizing cohabitation and nature's influence in response to modern habitat loss.
The architect implemented a process to inform the shape of the exterior and interior, ensuring a harmonious relationship between the design and nesting doves.
