Overstory

To build in Kayamandi - in a biosphere reserve with limited water resources - a winery of the future must foreground sensibility toward both nature and culture. “Overstory” investigates how the architecture of a roof canopy shared by building and nature can play an active role in mediating – and perhaps remediating – the native ecologies of this landscape.

Pour Winery: A Study in Black and White

The buildings that form Pour Winery in Kayamandi near the town of Stellenbosch in the winegrowing region of South Africa deal with the history of race relations in the country rather than avoid it. The careful interplay of black and white elements of the winery architecture signify and acknowledge the complex race relationship of the country.

Wine Temple

It is sometimes by looking at everything that we see nothing. Surrounded by the vineyards, an emergence rises from the ground. A socle gradually detaching itself from the slope allows to observe what surrounds us thanks to framed views. The experience consists in the sacralization of the wine, towards the architecture, the material, the space and the light.

The design offers a winery for wine enthusiasts around the world to come together and be close to nature, while being surrounded by vineyards. A complex as simple as possible out of three houses forming a unit with clear edges. Like an erratic boulder it is placed in the south aftican landscape.

Spirit of Dionysus

The winery is attached to the terrain closely and extends in a streamlined form. It offers a place that people can be much closer to the vineyards and break prejudice and segregation, following the symbol of Dionysus, to experience pain and gain happiness, with all living beings, ultimately, achieve a state of integration with nature and the world.

Perfect Blend

Having been inspired by the oenological ritual - wine aeration, the design adopts the essence behind this simple, yet significant gesture. Through the act of swirling and blending, our proposal aims to achieve a more holistic and seamless visitor experience through the interconnected network of programmatic features and circulation strategies.
