Architectural Drawings Development - buildings and gridshell arrangement (3D view
PRECEDENT STUDY OPTION 1
Deubau Gridshell
Advertisement
The gridshell designed by FREI OTTO HAD in 1962 which have the span of 15m x 15m at the German Building Exhibition. The access into the gridshell was designed by cutting the opening into the grid and creating the reinforced edge beam.
The option 1 shows a simplified plan form and also the gridshell. The flat configuration of the grid is square, which the circular form coving all the footbridge. The buildings are designed aligned with the vineyard which aiming to not interrupt the existing environments.
PRECEDENT STUDY OPTION 2
Chastone Shopping Centre gridshell with connection at Roof Gridshell the centre and buidlings alined with wineyard The new Chadstone shopping centre roof was designed by Callison RTKL and Atelier One, which aiming to covering the 7,000sqm of the shopping centre. The gridshell was designed in curve shape at the connection edges, which forms a really nice view at the perspective as shown in Figure 3.
The options 2 was inspired by this design and we trying to create the different connection area at the middle of the circle. The area created at the middle which will formed other functions and contribute to the wine yard.
PRECEDENT STUDY
King's Cross Station in London
The gridshell was design by John McAslan and Partners which aiming to cover the extended area of the King’s Cross station. It have the close connection with the building and creates the beautiful shadings generated by the cladding.
The options 3 was inspired by the form of this gridshell of its connection with the building and also the ground.
OPTION 3
Semicircle gridshell with connection at the centre and buidlings with previous form

The precedent we studied this case is the Mont-Ras Winery in Girona designed by Spanish architect Jorge Vidal and Victor Rahola. The building designed with flat roof and the tunnel like space inside the building which connected with the owner’s house. The feature that attract us was the atmosphere of the tasting room as shown in Figure 8, with a large window leading the view to the vineyard. It also connected with several tunnels and each of them leading to a different function of the winery.
As inspired of the Catalan Vineyard, we arranged the building plan as liner which aligned with the vineyard. The functions of the winery were mainly divided into two parts: commercial and suites. The commercial part of the winery was design to have a large atrium in the middle, with wine production function happening at the ground floor. Due to the sloping landscape of the site, the main entrance was designed at the first floor, and the restaurant and tasting room was closed to the main entrance. The tasting room was inspired by the precedent Mont-Ras Winery in Girona, with the extended view to the vineyard which creates the unique experience when tasting the wine.
PRECEDENT STUDY - Antinori Winery

Figure 29. Antinori Winery Facade.
The precedent study based on the Antinori Winery designed by Archea Associati in 2012. The architecture levels are not strictly following the traditional floor level, but extended with the natural landscape, and at the same time exploring different internal space generated natural element. For example, according to the figure 11, the tasting room was extruded into the cellar area, and the sharp edges was contrasted with the cave like cellar area. It provides the interactions between the cellar and the people tasting wine in the tasting space. Moreover, the spaces are connected using a huge stair and keep the areas as a whole.
When we are exploring the plan and sections, we were trying to arrange the functions freely with the building volume. It can be shown in the sections that each function is not aligned into one single level, instead the functions was designed according a big stair from bottom to the top. Then the functions are all connected with the stair which creates a journal for the users from wine production to suites.
PRECEDENT STUDY - Medhurst Cellar Door and Winery

Figure 32. Medhurst Cellar Door and Winery Architectural Plan.
The Medhurst Cellar Door and Winery project by Folk Architect is a great precedent on the simplification of form and function. The project only involves the wine production, cellar and the office, but it still creates a great consistency on the function arrangements and also the interactions between the functions. It has the cellar space and fermentation hall located the ground floor and the main entrance at the first floor. The overall form and functions are simple and clear but involves a good and reasonable circulation inside the building. The architecture also has an offset entrance for visitors’ access to the building easily.
The exploration 3 of plans and sections was put the user’s circulation at the priority, which involves the offset of the entrance at both ground floor and section floor. At the first floor, the tasting room and the restaurant are designed with a look out area which allows the visitors to have the view of fermentation hall and the cellar. The suites are designed with the intersections of internal courtyard. The layout is simple and easy to access.

Figure 35. Lahofer Winery Architectural Plan.
According to the precedent study, it connects the landscape and the building as a whole by introducing a big ramp into the architecture and also maximizing the views at the same time. The opening at the main entrance and also at the side and back facing to the vineyard connect the surrounding and the building together. The wine production related functions are designed away from the commercial part which allows the privacy of the winery.
In this case, the exploration divided the functions into two main parts: wine production and commercial part. To be simplified the functions of our winery, the suites are canceled due to the service and maintenance issues. The commercial part will facing to the public which consist with restaurant and also the open exhibition of wine-related knowledge. According to the section, the view of the restaurant and tasting room was introduced by apply the sloping roof.

The precedent for the exploration 5 was the Austria’s Clemens Strobl Winery which designed by Destilat. The winery consists of wine production, restaurant, tasting and cellar area. The wine production and the commercial area was connected using the tasting room which shown as Figure 19. This precedent combined all elements into one linear building but without obvious level divisions. The double height of the space maximum the lights went into the building.
As inspired by the precedent, our winery divided the functions into restaurant and winery, as the restaurant have the most separated function with the winery, and also it will be interesting to put the wine production and the tasting room to create the atmosphere shown in the precedent. The gridshell covers the foot bridge which have 4 connection areas to the building and the ground, aiming to leave the views towards the Denton House and the view of the lake. The landing of the gridshell attached with the building gives the opportunities for visitors to interact with the gridshell. The atmosphere we want to create is the rural buildings using concrete, stone or other local materials with a timber gridshell floating above the lake and only leave the views that we want visitors to look at deliberately.
