Polycarbonate, steel and concrete are among the resilient materials used to form a pair of industrial buildings at Fulldraw Vineyard, designed by American studio Clayton Korte.
Set on 100 acres (40 hectares), the Fulldraw Vineyard sits within an agricultural region along California's Central Coast, in the town of Paso Robles. The winery is known for its production of Rhone-style wines.
Clayton Korte was tasked by the company's owners, Connor and Rebecca McMahon, to create a winery complex that "represents their personality and passion for winemaking".

"The solution is a winery that is familiar yet exclusive, comfortable yet sophisticated ? seemingly disparate ideas that come together through a visitor experience that is as curated as it is intimate," said the Texas-based architectural studio. The team designed three buildings for the site.
The first two ? a 6,972-square-foot (648-square-metre) fermentation building and a 2,170-square-foot (202-square-metre) storage facility ? have been completed and will support the annual production of up to 10,000 cases of wine.
The structures were designed to offer a connection to the rolling terrain
The third structure will hold a tasting room and is slated to open in 2026.
All of the structures are designed to offer a connection to the rolling terrain striped with grape vines.
