Fratelli Wines
View photographs ↗In an industrial building, the performance of the building in terms of its function is of paramount importance. The soul of this building is the intricately designed spaces which interact with each other in such a manner that visitor to the building can feel the process of wine making.
This project has been designed using climate as the basic parameter of the design and has been successfully completed within a very stipulated budget i.e. 850rs/sq. ft.
This was made possible with fast construction techniques, low cost natural materials and most important reuse of materials from the site itself.
In this project the building envelope needs to change its character for different zones performing different activities. The tank hall and wine storing cellar which is not inhabited need a total barrier between interior and exterior. Whereas the administrative area and the bottling plant need a filter with fenestrations to control light and ventilation.
Landscape plays a key role in the campus not only as a visually pleasing element but also as a microclimate modifier. The landscape for winery is designed such that it merges with surroundings and has natural flair to it.
