Winery for Scribe in Sonoma, California. Experiencing the transition from the productive landscape and historic vineyard experience, recognizing the site’s unique qualities and attributes. Exploring the process of wine and the collaborative effort it takes for the consumer to have that single glass of wine. One of our key factors of this project is labor. Through the process of working together as a collective and collaborative form, this project has the ability to form into a united village. By taking advantage of all the views the site offered which is how the massing was formed.
Our precedent study for this project includes Kengo Kuma’s stacking technique of Cafe Coeda as well as the lattice veiling of the G.C. Prostho that not only allows light to filter through the facade but also provides a screen to the outside. Creating symbiotic synthesis of both systems, we moved forward with this technique as our main structural system. The stacking of the facade creates a language of a collective set. Having lightwells throughout the project bring in light vertically and are glimpses to the wine world. While also working structurally.
