GREEN DOOR WINERY
Our clients' brief was to provide them with a modest sized cellar door for their boutique winery, using existing infrastructure and a set of massive moroccan carved doors that they had previously purchased. Mr Squiggle style, the challenge was taken on and these two requirements were thoughtfully incorporated into a contemporary cellar door and cafe, unique to the area.
Taking form cues from the existing building's roofline and adjacent wine production shed, the new cellar door is grafted onto the side of an existing tilt-panel building of "interesting design".
The once unappealing external elevation of the tilt-up has become the internal backdrop to the tasting gallery and unfolds onto the rolling hills of the Ferguson Valley to the west.
A raw materials aesthetic of troweled and sand blasted concrete, plywood and exposed galvanised and raw steel sits well with the ornate and colourful doors that form the central focus of the internal space and lend the winery its name.
