5 key facts about this project
01
A facade constructed with charred wooden shingles enhances fire resistance and visual texture.
02
Cross-laminated timber panels provide structural efficiency while reducing carbon footprint.
03
The bent A-frame design offers optimal natural light and views of the surrounding vineyard.
04
Rainwater collection systems support irrigation and reduce water usage in landscaping.
05
Custom barrel tables are integrated into the interior, reflecting the wine-theme aesthetic.
The Vino 365 project is an architectural design that integrates wine culture with contemporary building practices. Located in a scenic vineyard region, the project serves as both a wine boutique and tasting facility, aiming to provide an immersive experience focused on local viticulture. The design harmonizes functionality and aesthetics through a thoughtful layout, material selection, and commitment to sustainability.

Unique Features of the Architectural Design

The Vino 365 project distinguishes itself through its contextual sensitivity and innovative use of materials. The building's form echoes the natural landscape, featuring a terraced structure that blends into the rolling hills of the vineyard. This approach reinforces the connection between the architecture and its environment, making the visitor experience both engaging and enriching.

Local stone is prominently used in the façade, showcasing the region’s geological identity while enhancing the building's durability. The combination of glass and steel elements allows for transparency and interaction with the surrounding views, promoting natural light infiltration and ensuring a seamless indoor-outdoor relationship. The use of pine wood in roofing and structural details adds warmth, further contributing to the atmosphere of the space.

The project also emphasizes practicality and sustainability through its design. Photovoltaic panels installed on the southern roof harness solar energy, while a rainwater collection system contributes to irrigation and utility needs. Cross-ventilation techniques are strategically implemented to regulate indoor climate, reducing reliance on mechanical heating and cooling systems.

Design Elements and Spatial Configuration of the Facility

The spatial organization of the Vino 365 project is crafted to enhance user experience. At the ground level, a central wine boutique welcomes visitors, integrating a bar area that facilitates wine tastings and promotes local products. Adjacent to this area, a fully equipped kitchen supports small-scale culinary events and showcases regional cuisine.

Guest accommodations are thoughtfully positioned to maintain privacy while offering views of the vineyard, thus enhancing the tranquil experience for visitors. The layout promotes social interaction without compromising personal space, reflecting a nuanced understanding of public and private dynamics.

Attention to detail is evident in the interior design, where materials such as wood and stone establish a cohesive aesthetic language. Custom furnishings, including tables fashioned from reclaimed barrels, reinforce the wine-centric theme and create a unique dining atmosphere.

With these design elements, Vino 365 not only serves its primary function as a wine facility but also elevates the visitor experience, connecting individuals with both the product and the surrounding landscape.

To gain a deeper understanding of the architectural decisions made in this project, including architectural plans, architectural sections, and diverse architectural ideas, interested individuals are encouraged to explore the project presentation. Engaging with these materials will provide insight into the comprehensive approach taken in the Vino 365 project, illuminating the nuances of its design and functionality.
