¨La Grajera¨ Winery
Project Featured on Nov 18, 2013
The Project seeks an
equilibrium between the need to announce the presence of the winery and the
desire to merge with the landscape: the volumes follow the deformations of the
land and are interrupted, moving towards the forest, remaining close to its
border and thus respecting the existing vegetation.
A large
semi-basement foundation in sandstone, which houses the production area of the
winery, bends and rises to become an element of the building and to turn into
an element of the landscape. Over this massive construction, the institutional
area is materialized in a light body in glass and dark ceramic.
The third volume,
a small tower housing offices, completes and closes the building, helping to
create the pedestrian square that gives access to the different areas: a piazza
that is open to the forest, to the landscape and to the panorama.
The presence of
two entrances on different heights makes it possible for the winery to remain
partly below ground, exploiting the slope of the land; this favours many aspects
of the manufacturing process, as for instance the constant temperature of the
ground and the use of gravity or natural ventilation.
The material
chosen change from the bright exterior to the interior in dark stone, in a
didactic itinerary along which it is possible to participate in all the phases
of wine brewing, from the growing of grapes to the tasting of the product.
The building aims
to find simple bioclimatic solutions that harmonize with the climate and with
the location. The inhabitable areas face south, and protect the areas dedicated
to production and fermentation, which remain underground and covered by the
hill, thus reducing the need for air conditioning. The inclined roof is covered
by vegetation which, apart from helping the building merge with the landscape,
increases the thermal insulation. The orientation and section of the winery
makes it possible to guarantee a natural ventilation of the building, and
reduce the need of mechanical ventilation for the industrial process. The large
glazed facades are protected from the direct sun light using ceramic shutters.
