For nearly two decades, Sauska Tokaj has been a leader in Hungarian winemaking. Their vision: a family-owned winery where gastronomy, architecture, and nature intersect. The resulting structure is anything but conventional. From a distance, only two floating, lens-shaped volumes are visible, each a sculptural bowl hovering just above the vineyards, housing public functions such as a restaurant and bar with panoramic terraces.
The floating effect is amplified by sunlight gliding across the curving surfaces of the shells, creating a dynamic dialogue between structure and sky. These volumes appear like circular gardens suspended in the vineyard rows, merging seamlessly into the protected landscape of Tokaj.
Meanwhile, all winemaking facilities, including fermentation and aging, are placed entirely underground. Inside the dramatic circular fermentation halls, stainless steel tanks are arranged in concentric rings around a central oak barrel aging core. Grapes arrive, and wines depart, via a tunnel that runs along the building’s axis, a corridor that also houses critical mechanical systems.
At The Greypixel, our main challenge was to illustrate how the Sauska Tokaj Winery blends seamlessly into its surroundings through thoughtful landscape design. We set out to show not only how the architecture interacts with the vineyard-covered slopes of Padi Hill, but also how it transforms throughout the day, rom the shifting natural light that sculpts its forms, to the evening hours when artificial lighting takes over, giving the impression that the building hovers gently above the terrain. Each image was crafted to convey this dialogue between built form and nature, and the atmospheric shift that defines the visitor’s experience.
