The Chimney Rock Project is a modern farmhouse tucked away in the heart of Napa. Nestled between valley oaks and vineyards and overlooking the Macaymans mountains, this home was designed to embrace the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Nick Noyes Architecture designed this home as a communal space for several generations of family, with an emphasis on authentic materials and a sustainable approach to design and construction. The construction process for this project was a hybrid of six modular units blended with the site built vaulted dining and living area completed by Del Mar Restoration. Thanks to this hybrid approach, this project was able to be completed in just one year, from start to finish. We’re proud to share that the Chimney Rock Estate was recognized in the 2025 Residential Design Awards.

Modern house with large glass windows, a patio, and an infinity pool overlooking a landscape of green hills under a cloudy sky.

Small modern gray house with glass double doors, concrete steps, and trees with red leaves on each side.

Modern house exterior with black siding, large glass sliding doors, and leafless trees in front.

The cream and slate color palette and brass finishes provide a sophisticated touch, while the high windows and expansive glass doors bring the valley inside. The various outdoor spaces were intentionally crafted with various activities in mind, from grilling dinner, to lounging in the entertainment area, to spending an afternoon in the pool with friends.

Bright open living and dining area with beige sofa, wooden coffee table, large sliding glass doors overlooking outdoor seating and scenic mountain views.

Modern wine cellar with a round wooden table, two beige upholstered chairs, a vase with white flowers, and wall-mounted wine racks.

Modern living room with vaulted light wood ceiling, dark wood-paneled fireplace, concrete coffee table with books and flower vase, and a gray armchair.
