Located in the midst of the Silagiu hills area, in the southern outskirts of Buzias, the winery embodies the clients’ desire for a building with a strong natural presence, as an expression of the cultural and social value of the site, but at the same time a defining landmark.
The aim of the project is, in addition to responding to and ensuring the functional aspects of wine production, to blend the building with the natural landscape, not necessarily through form, but through the relationship created through a constant dialogue between interior and exterior. This dialogue is supported through a scenography regarding the visitors’ path and the position of each space in regard to the exterior and also through materiality.
The entire complex has been designed having in mind Passive House principles, with careful attention to aspects such as airtightness, energy efficiency, inclusion in the natural cycle of elements and maintenance of a healthy ecosystem.
