A road trajectory leading to ORESTE Wine Estate has been altered and a path directs a visitor through a vineyard towards a facade, where two buildings and a connecting bridge beautifully frame distant Alaverdi Monastery.
In order for a field of vision to cover more vineyard area, ground floor has been elevated. The first floor area of the building with a terrace is intended for a wine tasting. A second floor of the building, which is allocated for a bedroom and a bathroom, connects to the neighboring wine cellar with the bridge.
To accentuate an overall structure of the conjoined buildings, black and rusty metals, brick and glass were chosen as the primary materials for this project.
The Espai Saó, together with the Gallery House, is part of a series of interventions carried out for the Mas Blanch i Jové winery, located in the small village of La Pobla de Cérvoles, in Lérida.
This new space, built inside the large wine production hall, responds to the growing demand for events that are being generated in the winery, for which the previous tasting room had remained small.
The position was delimited beforehand by the available space in the production hall and by the necessary connection with the previous tasting room, resulting in a rectangle in plan of twenty one meters long and six meters wide, covering the entire width of the hall, and raised above the working area as a mezzanine. The connection with the previous tasting room is made by means of a bridge, of generous dimensions, which hangs from a pair of cables on the room of barrels, to serve as viewpoint of the same one, carried out by a very extensive mural of Gregorio Iglesias that covers all the walls of the room. This bridge is designed as pure construction, made entirely of cor-ten steel, as an assembly of beams and plates, thus giving prominence to the room itself and the large mural. The use of cor-ten steel refers to a favorite material of the winery: on the one hand, the past of the owner as a blacksmith, and on the other hand, an omnipresent material in the sculptures and works that Josep Guinovart, renowned artist and intimate friend of the owners, made throughout his life for this winery.
An immense wooden barrel open over the green mountains of Belo Horizonte: this is the scenario designed by GPA&A office of the architect Gustavo Penna to host the Ateliê Wäls, a large brewery center surrounded by nature, in the Olhos d'Agua neighborhood, south of the capital of Minas Gerais. Opened in early June, the complex includes a restaurant, shop, office, wine cellar, beer factory and outdoor area for food trucks. The proposal is to create a center of innovation in the sector, as well as promoting the meeting between friends and offering the experimentation of special craft beers. “It's a playful and fun project that shows the union of architecture and beer in a magical way,” says Gustavo.

Ranchettes El Coronel Eco-Community is a new sustainable development located in Playas de Rosarito, in the state of Baja California, México. The main objective of this development is to establish a new type of eco- friendly development that interacts in a peaceful manner with its context. Situated on the northern flank of the Coronel hill and surrounded by natural landscape, untouched by settlers, this project will host a series of small ranch type properties or Ranchettes, that will serve as primary or vacation homes for future residents. With no type of infrastructure located within the site, all of the interventions done must be at the peak of sustainability. Producing its own energy, capturing any amount of moisture or precipitation, installing low tech and high tech water filtration and supply systems; areas for personal crops and using native vegetation to enhance the local landscape, and also, using local and recycled materials to better integrate with the context.
Building in stone implies carving a mountain, the result imposing and profound, creating a presence with self-evident materiality. On this site, near the Cistercian Abbaye du Thoronet, building with stone extracted from Roman quarries places the project in a temporality resonant with the landscape.
The stone blocks, mathematical, are one by one metres by fifty centimetres thick, and weigh exactly one metric ton. They rise in equilibrium ten metres high, twist and turn. The walls dilate, filigrees of pure weight in the sun.
The Nett Winery, located in the Pfalz wine region of Germany, can be described as a light, modern, generous and representative building. Comprised of two long-stretched halls as well as a covered passage, it looks like a geometric ray ready to unfold across the landscape. Inside the building, the wine ripens on a vast space of nearly 4,500 m². Claiming the highest quality of wine production, the challenge was to design a completely new building that ambitiously combines the entire production as well as a shop, tasting room, storage, office and living spaces – and which meets the family’s expectations, too. In Architects Collective Christian Nett found a partner from Vienna that could implement his vision of an efficient, ecological and ambitious plan to create a winery of the future.

In a unique natural environment, bathed by a sea of vineyards in the exceptional Paraje de la Raja, next to the Sierra de la Pila in Jumilla (Murcia), this project emerges whose goal is to be the headquarters of Bodega Casa Rojo.
The place is the main protagonist of the project, where nature and silence convey a deep sense of peace. The building adapts to its enclave while responding to the image and needs of a dynamic and innovative company.
Winery in Kutjevo appears as the development of a previously designed winery in Radovanci. The new building is located in the center of Kutjevo town and due to a switch from a completely natural environment to a very urban one, there has been a complete turn in the architectural design as well. A simple and clear architectural design is inspired by the traditional wine cellars and the indigenous country houses. The surrounding houses are built on concrete pedestals, which mostly remain unfinished and rough; on the other hand, the walls are made of brick that eventually gets patina and a robust appearance. By applying these principles and materials, the house attempts to fit in the main city street where it is built.
A crown jewel of the Jack Daniel Distillery grounds, the house (one of the first buildings seen by visitors approaching Lynchburg) was originally commissioned by Lem Motlow, second in a line of proprietors who have consistently delivered the best Tennessee whiskeys available.
With a keen sensitivity to the history of this 1930’s Georgian home and its role at the distillery, the reconstruction maintains the residential scale and character of Lem’s original creation. This was accomplished through careful reinvention of the interior to bring together local Jack Daniel’s hosts and enthusiasts from near and far in an environment that immerses guests in the unique form of hospitality that the brand is so well known for.
Wine making has been around for thousands of years. Nature provides everything that is needed to make wine, it is up to humans to embellish and improve it. Thus our Client who is from Italy and his counterpart in India wanted to have wine making unit at Akluj, Solapur so that they could produce one of the finest wines.
Five basic steps are involved in making wine: harvesting, crushing, fermentation, clarification, and aging and bottling. The unit has all; the client already had a huge vineyard spread in the premises. The brief was to have a plant with tank hall with a capacity of 9 lakh liters, processing units, bottling plant, cellar for storing the wines and admin block with wine testing lab.
Crushing, fermentation and filtration units have been created in the plant and adjacent to it, is the admin block. Buffer space has been given between the two buildings.
