Earth Song

The extension to this vineyard in Barolo is conceived as another fold in the natural terrain, rising from and connected to its existing context.

The volumes seem to be concealed within the folds of the earth.

The Project

The design addresses the extension of a vineyard set between a narrow neighborhood street and its branch in the valleys of Barolo.

The surrounding hills and natural context suggested the designers develop a volume completely covered by green soil.

The extension surfaces slope down to the ground, connecting the new volume to the existing site.

The main floor of this enlargement was arranged at a level 5.5m above the existing Adelaide farmhouse. The new volume thus approaches the existing one discretely yet powerfully.

The enlargement surfaces face the valley to the north with volumes 2.5m high.
