In recent years, more and more vineyards have sought to make a statement not just with their wines but with the design of their facilities. That means wineries are no longer mere side trips en route to the main attraction—they’ve become destinations in their own right. World-class food and drink, stunning architecture, luxury lodgings, idyllic settings—this is the stuff epicurian dreams are made of.
Designed by Bergmeister Wolf Architekten in 2014, Villa P has a spectacular winery architecture. The building is developed from the area – from the wine-growing landscape above the monastery novacella, which are in the young vintner‘s possession. The building will be part of the existing cultivated landscape, with its lynchets and natural stone walls. It is a continuing of the differences in altitude and the terracing, a continuing of the already existing natural stone masonries: an extension of this wall, an integration with this.
The grapevines will be green for 8 month the year, then the lynchets disappear in the background and the shadowed building is very slight defined. The discs of the wall will be part of the integrated housing and act among the grapevines.
Noticeable spaces, intimate areas formed with architecture and landscape, public open spaces, an integration with the landscape and at the same time a growing over of the vineyard landscape will be evolved through the switching of the solids. A consciously working with the landscape, no matter whether in the elevation or the overlapping of the landscape on top of the roof
