Vino na kameni

Project idea

The core idea behind the design was to divide the program into separate volumes – a restaurant, kitchen, accommodation, and entrance block – each represented as an individual rectilinear mass. By shifting and rotating these blocks, the composition breaks away from a monotonous linear form, creating a more dynamic spatial layout and producing a sculptural impression. These volumes are anchored to a long entrance ramp, which emphasizes a strong horizontal line in the landscape.

Visitors arrive via this ramp, flanked by rows of grapevines, offering the first tactile experience of the site’s atmosphere. Upon entering the main foyer with reception, they are naturally directed according to their needs – towards the restaurant, wine shop, or guest rooms.
Guests heading for wine tasting descend via stairs or elevator to the lower level, which is embedded into the slope and evokes the ambience of a traditional wine cellar. From the tasting area, there is visual access to the production facilities, the exterior vineyard landscape, and the archival space, where rare wines are displayed, reinforcing the connection between experience, production, and heritage.

Project description

This project is a winery complex that integrates production facilities, a restaurant, an administrative section, and accommodation for visitors. It is designed to respect the natural landscape and harmonize with the surrounding vineyards. The production and administrative zones are partially embedded into an artificial slope, minimizing their visual impact. In contrast, the hospitality functions – the restaurant and guest rooms – are positioned to offer open views and direct contact with the landscape. The architecture promotes a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces, using fully glazed façades and a generous terrace to enhance the experience of the surrounding nature.

Technical information

The building utilizes a reinforced concrete skeletal structural system, which allows for a flexible and adaptable layout. The exterior is clad in sandstone, a material known for its durability and graceful aging over time. Windows with concealed frames are used to create the impression of dissolving the barrier between interior and exterior, enhancing the spatial continuity and visual openness.
