holz, you are the best. This was a beautiful way to start my Monday.

gosh, I hope I'm never that bored

WOW! Who knew there were so many Architectural wineries.

I wonder if the architect gets paid in cash, or wine....

holz, hope you enjoyed a glass of petrus as you were assembling this thread. great typographical overview.

can distilleries or breweries be next?

damn! that's a serious list.

a winery seems like it would be one of the best commissions, there's always such a rigorous investigation of site, context, history and program apparent in these projects...

don't forget to add Barozzi Veiga's Ribera del Duero winery in spain to the "in the works' category:

also, i googled every combination of words I could think of but couldn't find this project... I remember seeing, maybe 2-3 years ago, a design for a winery that had a continuous interior wooden ceiling that waved in between the different rooms.. there was one rendering of a cross section of the project (half underground) that showed this, it had different curves and pitches depending on the room it was going through, it might have even been a reno but I don't remember... ringing any bells?

tk -
no, but i did have a bottle of locally made merlot that easily rivals many fine bordeouxs.

it's not a total waste, this weekend i decided to do a quick precedent for a potential tank storage facility, the owner is kinda crazy.


also, i really like that Veiga winery. i would love to get to see that every evening.

Fantastic. Thanks-

I'm sure is kicking himself everytime holz starts a thread cause it a million + 1 images on the title loading each page.

But...I love this, makes me regret not taking a bottle of wine to bed

wow, some really inspiring spaces, i think i'm personally drawn to the semi-subterranean walter angonese project in italy and the gorgeous glass box by iñaqui aspiazu in spain

I'm glad you had the peregrine winery in there. theres a good one by RCR Architectes as well, but too busy to find pictures right now...

RCR's bell-loc cellars?

yeah thats the one, but the second picture is a different project.

how could you leave out this one!

is that graves? it's friggin awful!

Um, yep. It's Clos Pegase.

wow, i love this thread!

about RCR, the second pic is actually a volcanic park, not far from the Bell-lloc cellars though... they use those cor-ten or rusted metal panels almost everywhere, sometimes red -corten red-, others black... they love oxidized metals

also they are doing another cellar in Catalonia, in Peralada.. a "sort of" biomorphic cellar... "sort of" landscaping a, er, "sort of" big Quaternary fossil ... or some "sort of" similar thing... sort of cool too:

sort of out of size...

yeah all these RCR projects are in the el croquis of their work - full-on stuff

yep..

http://www.elcroquis.es/MagazineDetail.aspx?magazinesId=157&lang=en

Most of them look like mausoleums. Leave it to architects!

medit-

picked up the RCR el croquis. some sick work that i knew about, but a lot i didn't.

did the office split up?

their website says this:
we close this window facing the street meanwhile we open another one to the courtyard

i trampled through mud and weeds just to check out the pabellon del bano in olot. i remember seeing details somewhere, but can't recall.

no, they are still together as far as I know.. in fact there were news last week that his Sant Antoni public library in Barcelona -their only significant building there- is one of the five finalists for the Mies van der Rohe prize of this 2009... I have this small site about them, there are no pics but they have lots of projects goin' on -most of them you can see in that Croquis monograph... the Pavelló del Bany details I think is in their previous monograph, #115/116-

their website has been closed since a long time ago... I guess they are tired of people sending resumes and cv's and people calling for magazine interviews and everything... I had Vilalta as a teacher in arch school.. they are very laid back people, his office in Olot is far from Barcelona, a very quiet and relaxed place in the country, so, since they are not short of work -they are even doin' something in Dubai- I guess they just decided to "close" their "window" -their website- temporarily until their "fame" has passed a bit...
