Foley Johnson Wines sought to expand its winemaking facilities while preserving the character and visual prominence of the property's historic barn. Located in Napa Valley, the project required a careful balance between modern production needs and respect for the site's agricultural heritage. Rather than creating a highly expressive addition, the design embraces simplicity, allowing the historic structure to remain the defining architectural element of the winery. Thoughtful massing, restrained forms, and a complementary material palette help the new construction integrate naturally into the existing campus.

Beyond its preservation goals, the project was driven by the need for an efficient and functional winemaking environment. The layout was organized to support a smooth production process, improving workflow from grape reception through fermentation, storage, and bottling. Aged metal and wood were selected to reinforce the connection between the new facilities and the property's historic character, creating a timeless architectural expression rooted in Napa Valley's agricultural traditions. The result is a winery that successfully combines operational performance, architectural restraint, and historic preservation in a cohesive and enduring design.
