Built to combine three main functions, the small 625 square foot wooden cabin accommodates a wine-tasting service area, reception area, and office space. These three areas were combined to create a Y-shaped plan, with each branch housing a different function. The unusual plan and elevated location offered the architects the chance to maximize views towards the vineyards in multiple directions.

Inside, the walls, ceilings, and floorboards are painted bone-white to create the illusion of spaciousness. Furniture, such as the wine rack and taste testing picnic table, offer light wooden accents in the otherwise all-white, open planrooms. To mitigate the uneven slope, the architects added footings on the edges of two of the three wooden volumes.
