Adaptive reuse, highly textured and rugged insertions, large mechanical devices operated by hand cranks… yep, it must be a design by Olson Kundig!
And how! Once an old mechanic’s garage, the walls, ceiling, and windows all proudly wear the patina of time. Within this rich background are added the equally industrial-like bits to turn the space into a winery and a company HQ. Large pivoting windows replace the old garage doors, allowing the tasting room to become part of the sidewalk and vice-versa. Everything within the room (including a large seating platform that doubles as a stage) is movable to allow as many uses as possible, from tasting to dinner to dancing to poetry to music jams.
Offices occupy the other half of the building, separated by or alternately opened to the winery via a single step up and large sliding solid steel plates that fit the look perfectly.
Yeah, I like this one a lot. It hits so many of my aesthetic inclinations. Good stuff.
