The vinery
Our goal was to design a building first communicating modernity then which would not upset the existing balance but rather emphasize the architectural and natural values present in the area subdivided by the ancient retaining walls.
The winery, a transparency-driven and moderate building of which reminds the visitor of the fine-tuned nature of a contemporary museum rather than an industrial building, is finely embedded into the hillside. Transparency is suggesting openness and evoking trust in visitors.
On the one hand, it gives the impression as if the quality of wine was not determined during its crafting but much earlier, still on the hillside. On the other hand, the building lets the major enemy of all kinds of sins and blunders into the manufacturing process, which is light. The winery is subordinated to the noble purpose that is to make wine from the grape and to the cause of the HOLDVÖLGY brand.
