About Sensory Aesthetic 品酒屋

《感官美學》係一間品酒屋，坐落喺巴西美景市曼加貝拉宮花園嘅高樹之間。呢間屋設計上係為咗支援藏酒同品酒。天然材料例如木同石鋪蓋喺外牆同內牆，傢俬就用皮革，營造出一種溫馨而私密嘅氛圍。酒窖設有空調同自動化系統。訪客可以透過一個應用程式揀選一個國家，LED燈就會照亮嗰個地區嘅所有酒標。戶外露台仲提供多啲座位。

Unique Properties: This house was designed to enhance the experience of collecting and tasting a good wine.
A wine cellar in the middle of high trees in gardens of Mangabeira Palace in the city of Belo Horizonte in Brazil.
Dimensions & Packaging: The house has 9,7m x 4,5m. The external deck has 3m x 5,7m
Tags: Wine house, wine cellar, sensory, natural, experience
Production Technology: Another differential of the project is that the cellar is air-conditioned as well as automated. Through an app, the visitor can select the country in which the wine they want to taste is produced. After making this choice, a LED light lights up to illuminate all labels from that region.
Design Challenge: Usually we create two metal pipes for each bottle. In this case I wanted to have one thicker pipe that could have a dimension that support two bottles at the same time but they don`t bump in each other. Also we had the challenge to made this delicate and resistant. The culmination of a series of prototypes aimed at achieving this light result even thought having almost 400 bottles at one place. The lights that delineate the wine cellar featured this!
Research: I wanted to have a place not decorated with wine but that wine was the really center of it. And all the preparation and research involved personal visits on wineries around the world to get the point. The enviroment of that!
Inspiration: The inspiration was the true universe of wineries. In order to reproduce that, I set many natural elements such as wood, stone, of a more closed character, which covers both the external and internal walls, in addition to leather in the furniture, resulting in an ambiance of a cozy and intimate place, ideal for good stories and great wines!
Project Duration: The project started in June 2019 in Belo Horizonte and finished in October 2019 in Belo Horizonte, and was exhibited in a Home Design Show called (Casa Cor MG).
Operation Flow: Inside the space, in front of the cellar, there is an eight-seater round table that caters to the brotherhoods of wine lovers. In addition, a gourmet countertop for support in the preparation of dishes and hygiene of cups, a shelf with various cups and rare labels already tasted and disposed as an affective tasting memory. If the Proposal is to toast outdoors, the deck offers plenty of comfort. The place has a bench that surround the whole house and also serves as a body guard, a wooden table, an armchair with high backrest and other smaller benches leave everything even more fluid and organic.
The glass cube invades the roomand gives relevance to its purpose of storing noble bottles, and benefits from the transparency so that, at any time, the wines suspended by wooden pipes, cease to be protagonists. The wide kitchen countertop beside has a sink, an ice bucket and a cooktop. It serves as a support to clean the glasses and for the preparation of the dishes!
