The site being contoured, the design spans over four levels. We enter the farmhouse at level two which has the common facilities like foyer, living, dining, kitchen, swimming pool and deck with master bedroom. The next two levels house guest rooms, sit-outs and gazebos; while the top most level has a meditation pavilion.
The client’s vision was to extend and refurbish his heritage winery into a boutique resort nestled in an established vineyard with the panoramic dam view. Accompanying this was a desire for a hospitality experience that celebrated their wine production. He wanted a building that would engage, evoke and establish a dialogue with the exiting surroundings.
Set against a lush green backdrop, the structure evolves from the ground and merges with the surrounds. It is a reaction to the existing contours so as to minimize the impact on ecology. The dynamic form twists and turns along the natural contours adding new surprises and boosting the creative minds of the students.
Stay inspired. Curious.
