Lookout and Winery Pezinok

Idea projektu

The primary aim of the project was to design a lookout and winery in the town of Pezinok, in the area of Stará hora, as an enrichment of the Small Carpathian wine-growing area. The building should primarily serve to attract a wider public to show more interest in wine and viticulture, which should also act to increase tourism in the town of Pezinok and its surroundings. The design was a great challenge due to sloping terrain of the land intended for the construction of the winery. The whole work is divided into three phases of creation. The first is the architectural design, which results in an architectural study. The second phase consists of the preparation of the project drawings for the planning procedure and the third consists of the project drawings for the building permit. The design responds to the requirements of the client, type of environment, climatic conditions and potentials arising from the surrounding stimulus of the area. The design includes a winery building and also includes a viewing platform and a boardwalk. The proposed building is designed in a barrier-free manner with the least interference with the surrounding environment but with a strong, acknowledged materiality to create an contrast. The winery building consists of café space, variable space, wine storage, relaxing exterior but also atmospheric cellar tasting areas. The vision of the architectural design of the winery, which stands out in the Stará hora area like a living organism, is inspired by biomimicry in architecture. This concept is based on the principles of nature, where the long vine trunk evokes and is interpreted as the entrance walkway to the building and, at the same time, as the supporting axis from which the main part of the building branches out. These branches symbolise the various functional units of the winery and at the same time form a gradual transition to the main part of the building, the viewing roof, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The entire building, both its appearance and functions, was inspired by the cultivation and growth of grapes in organised vineyards. The whole principle is applied to the winery not only as a whole but also to the details, which are gradually revealed, just as grapes are revealed from behind the leaves.

Popis projektu

There are three scenarios taking place throughout the building. The first takes place on the first floor. The entire floor has a semi-public character due to the interior serving visitors during operating hours and the terrace, which is also accessible when the building is not in operation. The floor is divided into two separately functioning symmetrical units, which can also be interconnected if necessary to increase the visitor capacity. In the first part there is a café. The second part does not have a specific function, there is a large variable space. The second scenario takes place on the walkway roof, which includes a footbridge leading directly from the road. The roof has a regular sequence of different functions and attractors, which were inspired by the way the grapes are guided. There are a number of green spaces in the form of lawn and low green areas. It alternates private resting areas with group ones or attractions for children such as concrete resting sessions, swings, loungers, benches and also a large group sitting area with a fireplace. The third and final scenario takes place on the first underground floor, which we can call the wine cellar. The proposal refers to the creation of the right atmosphere of a given wine cellar with the right technical solution for appropriate wine storage. All three scenarios together form one multifunctional unit serving as a winery with sightseeing, tasting, wine cellar, relaxation and variable spaces.

Technické informácie

The entire building is founded on a foundation slab with recesses under the reinforced concrete walls of the building. The thickness of the reinforced concrete foundation slab is 350 mm, and the foundation joint is located at a height of -4.185 mm and in recesses at a height of -4.260 mm. All vertical load-bearing structures of the building are designed from reinforced concrete. The load-bearing reinforced concrete perimeter walls on the first floor have a thickness of 300 mm and on the ground floor they have a thickness of 500 mm. All ceiling structures in the building are made of reinforced concrete monolithic beamless ceiling slabs with a thickness of 300 mm. All ceiling slabs are braced in one direction and embedded in the load-bearing vertical structures. The single-layer extensive green roof structure includes a 2% slope layer for roof drainage. The building has a single-layer flat roof. The supporting structure consists of a 300 mm thick monolithic reinforced concrete slab. The thermal insulation consists of two layers of expanded polystyrene EPS with a total thickness of 230 mm and 140 mm. The upper polystyrene is sloped with a thickness of 20–140 mm. The walkable roof is formed by the same supporting structure composition and the surface is formed by a cast, non-slip, exposed concrete floor. The roof of the building is without a parapet; the parapet is located only on the extensive green roof above the communication core, which leads directly to the viewing roof of the building. The non-load-bearing interior partitions in the building consist of double-layered plasterboard panels, between which is the supporting structure of the plasterboard partition, which is an assembly profile. Throughout the basement, there are non-load-bearing concrete vaults on the ceilings.
