The Wine Pavilion is a new small construction in the middle of Piedmont vineyards.

A two-stories building integrated in the natural hilly slope.

A triangular shaped construction pointing the landscape around.

The pavilion works in synergy with the existing country house in the back thanks to the “aia”, a working yard in-between that guarantees both access to the pavilion and also to the wine cellar placed in the ground floor of the existing house working as a “piazza”.

The first floor works as a flexible space for hosting events, wine tasting and restaurant services with a full-sized glazing system overviewing the landscape.

The basement level is a garage for agricultural vehicles and technical storage for farming equipment facing directly the vineyards.

The roof is conceived as accessible green terrace for visitors where a breathtaking view of the vineyards is enjoyable.

The chosen construction materials and covering elements mirror the color and the consistency of the natural local elements: a patterned brick facade traces the tradition of farm buildings while the large glazed openings connect the indoor spaces with the outdoor ones.

The Wine Pavilion is a nZeb building.
