Avlusunda aynı zamanda konser ve film gösterimleri gibi birtakım
yan etkinlikler de düzenlenen La Grajera Şaraphanesi’nde, şarap
üretiminden tadımına kadarki süreçleri ziyaretçilere göstermek amacıyla
tasarım ekibi tarafından özel bir rota belirlenmiş. Öngörülen bu rota
topografyaya gömülü birimden başlayıp, yer yüzeyinde bulunan kırık
hatlı birimde son buluyor. Virai Arquitectos, kullanılan siyah kayrak taşı,
kumtaşı ve seramik panel gibi malzemeler ile yalın formların ön planda
tutulduğu tasarımlarında; malzeme ile estetik arasında modernlik,
yerellik ve ekoloji gibi bağlamlarda bir denge kurmaya çalışıyor.
Mimarlar, her aşamasında beş duyuya hitap eden tasarımlarını da bir
metaforla ifade ediyorlar: “Üzüm bahçeleri, peyzajı ve ışığı yer altına
çekiyoruz. Karanlık bir dünyaya... Sakin, derin ve serin bu ortamda
üzümü şaraba dönüştürüyoruz. Gezi güzergahı, tekrar ışıkla aydınlanan,
renkli bir dünyaya dönüyor. Şarabı da yanına alarak...”

use of ceramic on the office tower and event pavilion that provides an interesting
perspective on the site with its angular form articulated by grey ceramic panels,
a customized construction technique designed in collaboration with the Spanish
ceramic producer Favetón. These grey ceramic panels that look like metallic panels
are used to maintain a consistent surface on the curtain wall façade and as
thermal insulation for the pavilion providing minimum energy loss. In line with
Spanish architectural trends the material, technical and ecological consciousness
driving the design for ‘La Grajera’ is clear and direct in all its strategies.
Furthermore there is an urban and social use in terms of specific wine related
activities and the broader use of the space for public programs and activities, film
screenings, concerts and meetings in the ‘La Grajera’ courtyard. The collection
of buildings and outdoor spaces gives the aura of an urban farm. In addition to
the urban sensibility of the outdoor spaces, there is also the more specific spatial
planning around wine production. For this, the design team created a route where
visitors can experience all the steps of wine production from the fermentation to
marketing. This route starts in the sandstone clad Production-Storage Unit, and
ends in the pavilion as a distinct aspect of site planning. In this project, Virai
Arquitectos maintains a balance between modernism, the local vernacular and
ecology, between material and aesthetics. They rely in the direct and clear use of
materials such as sandstone, black flagstone and ceramic to achieve a structurally
expressive and logical architecture. This architecture is literally grounded in its
context and topography but in a sensitive ecological manner. The shape of the
buildings determined by energy concerns and climate control required by wine
making were a key design factor that resulted in locally driven architecture. The
building is a mix of qualities, being modern, open and spacious but also low,
hidden and dark. The architects explain their design strategy for ‘La Grajera’ in
how the building appeals to the five senses in parallel to the sensual experience
of wine itself: “From the vineyard, the landscape and the light, we submerge
ourselves slowly in a subterranean world, a world of darkness, stillness, depth and
coolness in which the grape is transformed into wine. The itinerary then returns to
the world of light, scenery and colors, bringing with it wine as we know it.”
