HALL Winery in St. Helena, California by Signum Architecture

Components: Production + Fermentation, Public Tasting, Private Wine Club Lounge, Viewing Terrace, Kitchen
On the valley floor, this building sits between two mountains, drawing tasters from all sides. Upon entry, guests are drawn into a quieter, darker space, close to the wine making process, and then released back out toward the openness of the valley.
The buildings’ natural materials: weathering steel, warm concrete, and stone, unite it with the adjacent, historic building. The curtain of transparent, low iron structural glazing is stunning and dynamic. The glass reveals the warm interior materials and reflects the splendor of the landscape.
There is a strong link between tasting and production areas. The vines seem to roll out from beneath the viewing terrace, immersing the visitor in wine making, from vineyard to glass. The facility is scheduled to receive LEED Gold certification.
