Description
A-106
A small producer above Pinhão asked for a place to receive visitors and store a year of bottles, without adding a new object to a protected landscape.
The annexe is set into one of the existing schist terraces. Its roof is planted with the same vines as the terrace above, so from the valley the building disappears and only a long slot of glass gives it away.
Concept design is complete. We are now working with the structural engineer on the retaining walls.
