A Prefab Tiny Home Takes Root in a Northern California Vineyard

Built in six months and delivered in a day, the Dwell House provides an extended family with space to thrive.

Surrounded by rows of cabernet grapevines, olive trees, a centenary oak, and bright blue sky, this cedar-clad prefab looks as if it has always stood on its cinematic site in Healdsburg, California. But the 540-square-foot Dwell House landed on the lot only a few months ago—just in time for Thanksgiving, which was homeowner Leslie Scharf’s plan.


One of the first Dwell Houses recently landed near Leslie Scharf’s vineyard home in Healdsburg, California. Norm Architects led the design of the 540-square-foot prefab, which is wrapped in Real Cedar siding.

After living on the property at the start of the pandemic with her adult daughters, Sophie and Sarah, and their families, Leslie decided she could use more square footage. "I needed flex space so that we could comfortably spend time together here," she says.

"Natural materials bring tactility and warmth," says Norm partner Sofie Thorning. Marvin windows and a folding NanaWall provide epic views of the landscape.
