Winery Design

Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners Architects from London has done a project for a well established firm of wine-growers “Bodegas Protos”. Rogers was assigned to construct a winery facility at Peñafiel, a small village near Valladolid in Castille, northern Spain. The new winery will process 1 million kilos of grapes and will be operational for the 2008 harvest.

From the architect’s site.. “The construction of the building began in Spring 2005. Following the excavation of the site, the 13 metre high in-situ concrete perimeter walls and foundations started to be constructed whilst the pre-cast concrete structural elements were being fabricated. The design of the system implied that all the generic elements were placed in position without requiring the use of temporary support structures. This innovative structural system has allowed a rapid assembly and the 19,500 sqm concrete frame of the base of the building - cellar, mezzanine and production levels – reached completion within nine months.”  Read more on the link below.
