About The Wine Hub Residence and Restaurant
The Wine Hub is a village building that combines a residence and a restaurant. The design aims to create a gathering place and to renew interaction among neighbours. Horizontal fins, inspired by traditional wine rack storage, shape the facade. The fins come in six different sizes, creating varied density that filters wind and sunlight and gives each interior function a different level of privacy. Glass panels on the ground floor can be opened, so the boundary between inside and outside is softened and the surrounding nature is brought into the interior.

- Inspiration
- Inspired by traditional wine rack storage, horizontal fins are designed with a dancing rhythm creating different hierarchy spaces and different privacy according to the internal functions. Fins are in 6 different sizes allowing diverse density which plays with wind and sun. Whereas the glass panels on the ground floor can be opened up so as to blur the difference between inside and outside, and embrace outdoor nature to the interior.
