Entry Description

This winery integrates a unique design approach to wine production. By studying the process from grape crushing to bottling, we transformed the linear production into a top-down spiral circulation, allowing gravity to assist throughout the process. To ensure unobstructed circulation for both customers and wine production, we designed a column-free interior space. The building’s primary load-bearing structure consists of three components: concrete cores, primary mass timber trusses attached to these cores, and secondary trusses attached to the primary trusses on the façade.
