An Expression In Form

A new architectural vision takes shape in the heart of Oakville.

The new winery, designed by Frida Escobedo — the Mexico City–born architect celebrated in the New York Times as the first woman to design a wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and now co-leading the renovation of the Centre Pompidou in Paris — with interiors by Maca Huneeus, whose award-winning work includes the Flowers Winery, Faust Haus, and Quintessa, will stand at the center of the estate: a place where craft, nature, and community converge. The vineyard, replanted to organic and biodynamic Bordeaux varietals, will be the living foundation of Favia’s wines. The estate farm and culinary program, guided by Napa’s top Chefs, will celebrate Napa’s agricultural roots in every season.

Meet Frida
Escobedo

Frida Escobedo is a Mexican architect known for her quietly powerful, materially driven work that explores time, light, and the relationship between architecture and its cultural context.

Her work spans public installations, cultural institutions, and private residences, often distinguished by the use of local materials, modular systems, and layered geometries that respond to both environment and history. She gained international recognition for the Serpentine Pavilion 2018 in London—becoming the youngest architect at the time to design the pavilion—where she used a lattice of cement tiles to create shifting patterns of light and shadow inspired by Mexican courtyards.

Escobedo’s work frequently engages with cultural memory and public space, as seen in projects like the renovation of La Tallera in Cuernavaca, where she reoriented monumental murals to reconnect the site with the surrounding community. Her approach is both contemporary and rooted, blending modernist clarity with vernacular influences.

In 2022, she was selected to design a new wing for the The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City—a landmark commission that further established her as one of the most influential architects of her generation.

Escobedo’s work is defined by restraint and intention, creating spaces that feel at once timeless and deeply connected to place.
