“The idea was to create a outlook over the grapes that are actually out of sight from the street,” the designers said. “In our approach to the design of the wine tavern, we focused on the themes of wine tasting and lingering.”
Bottles of wine are displayed on a shelvingunit fitted into one end of the space. The original tunnel-like cellar made from loess clay is used for storing wine bottles in a row of black translucent boxes.
Raw materials like steel, cement and cluster pine establish an aesthetic connection to the history of the building. Loess clay, typical of the region, is left in an unfinished state to accentuate the rustic qualities of the cellar.
