Dwelling in the Vineyard
In the vineyards surrounding WACHTER-WIESLER´S RATSCHEN, an award-winning restaurant in southern Burgenland, PICHLER & TRAUPMANN ARCHITEKTEN have developed a project in which an association of prize-winning wine-growers from the renowned wine-growing area of Deutsch Schützen took part. It offers guests a pleasant way of ending a day spent wine-tasting in the various cellars.
The free-standing residential elements are oriented on the culture of the rows of vines and are derived from this landscape element. The long side walls of the rooms take up the lines of the rows of vines and the distance between them, making them into built elements between which the various functions are placed. One sleeps between the rows of vines, so to speak, and they are reflected in the large windows and appear to continue into the rooms.
