2021 Nelson/Marlborough Architecture Awards Winner
Bragato Research Winery
An architecturally simple form hides a sophisticated programme that facilitates the changing nature of the research work taking place within. Simple moves such as windows at the perfect height for overlooking the vines outside elevate this building to the status of an 'elegant shed'. Temperature control and running costs are critical functions of the building and these have been carefully considered as part of the architecture. It is admirable to see an architect so knowledgeable about the environmental impacts of their design and how these have been worked through. This project is part of a wider masterplan, which is currently under construction, and we look forward to seeing it sit within that landscape.
