This LEED Gold certified winery building was designed to meet the owner’s commitment to sustainable winemaking. Renewable resources were implemented throughout the project including recycled materials, photo voltaic electrical power system, gray water reuse for irrigation, and rainwater capture. Located on a steep hillside, winery caves were used to minimize the facility footprint on the land, and to take advantage of natural cooling.  Both building and site were designed in close collaboration with the project architect.  Elegantly exposed structural elements throughout the winery were carefully detailed and executed.
