This is a winery located in the center of a vast vineyard. The central hall can transform its space for other functions such as for exhibition and wedding ceremony. The radially extended spaces from the center create its own beautiful relationship with surroundings such as vineyard, trees, water landscape and moving sunlight. The basement is a wine repository.
