Introduction

Our design journey at Florence Design School is deeply rooted in Italian design education, where we merge traditional aesthetics with modern innovation. This project at Harlan Estate Winery reflects the kind of immersive experience students receive when studying architecture programs in Florence.

The Harlan Estate Winery Redesign by Gonzalo Barreira and Zineb Berradia redefines the wine-tasting experience. Located in Napa Valley, this redesign blends luxury with nature, offering a unique journey into fine winemaking. The project focuses on creating an immersive space that reflects both the beauty of the region and the craftsmanship behind each bottle of wine.

A Vision Rooted in Luxury and Nature

Gonzalo and Zineb’s design respects the essence of fine wine production. Their concept connects interior and exterior spaces. The landscape of Napa Valley enhances the experience. Natural materials like walnut wood and marble add sophistication. Cashmere and polished microcement bring warmth to the space. Together, these materials balance organic textures with elegance. Polished gold accents add subtle refinement.

Using sustainable and timeless materials, the redesign embodies Italian craftsmanship and design philosophy. This approach highlights principles we emphasize in our interior architecture courses in Tuscany, combining Florentine inspiration with Napa Valley’s elegance

Immersive Experiences and Exclusive Spaces

The redesign invites visitors to connect with Harlan Estate’s history. As soon as they enter the showroom, guests see the craftsmanship behind each bottle. The terrace provides stunning views of Napa Valley. It’s a perfect spot for reflection. Inside, visitors can observe every stage of winemaking, from aging to bottling.

Dining in Style

The winery’s restaurant adds another layer of luxury. An elegant elliptical staircase leads to private tasting rooms. The dining space is both intimate and sophisticated. The kitchen on the ground floor offers unobstructed views of the beautiful architecture. The high ceilings and gabled roof enhance the space’s elegance.

A Curated Experience

The Harlan Estate Winery Redesign creates an authentic, high-quality experience. It focuses on respecting the environment and encouraging genuine connections. This space is for those who appreciate simplicity and authenticity. It’s more than a winery—it’s a sanctuary for people seeking timeless elegance.
