Elementary terracotta-coated volumes assemble like exquisite boxes of wine into a fascinating residential and office building. It mediates the urban situation and with regard to the content. 15 wine boxes within a height of two floors staple to a symbiotic structured organism. When entering the salesroom with the attached multifunctional event room and storage, one gets surrounded by the gravity of the concrete. This heaviness is combined with silence. Between unobtrusive and dimmable luminous elements, circular acoustic parts cushion the reverberation time. Round glass components lead the view to the vast high-rise rack. A chapel of wine is the core of the building. In the high of a fully enclosed room the dimension of the boxes gets evident and every wine lover’s heart will beat faster.
