The  winery, accustomed to its typical setting within an orchard landscape, has found a new home within the urban context of San Francisco. The visual relationship has shifted from an outward observation of the beautiful vineyards, to an inward focus on the production and aging of the wine. This inward focus is manifested within the facade of the winery, creating a wide range of light conditions and small glimpses of the building. Sections of blank facades are placed at either end, framing the parametric stone facade, which appears to be eroding, revealing small cracks of light and views, and 6 projecting apertures, which pull the viewer in to building, where they will see aging barrels of wine and public wine tastings. These framed views act as advertisements for the winery and its product. At the entrance of the building a brief culmination of visual connection occurs as the visitor can view from one end of the building to the other, revealing a full range of wine production spaces as well as the outdoor grape receiving and crushing area. The different programmatic elements make use of exterior space in a variety of ways. Small courtyards provide light and air to the offices and dwellings, while the event and tasting spaces take advantage of large outdoor patios, where visitors can enjoy a glass of wine outdoors. As an infill site, access to light is limited to just two elevations. Treating the roof as a “horizontal façade” provides a recovery of these essential elements. This new architectural layer provides light and views of the sky to the public, office and even the deepest “caves” of wine production and storage. A series of skylights, clerestory windows and open courtyards are created to take advantage of the relatively small program to infuse the interiors with various qualities and shades of light.
