Architecture studio Chybik + Kristof has topped the Lahofer Winery in the Czech Republic with a walkable roof with an open-air theatre.
The concrete winery in a vineyard near the villages of Dob?ice and Suchohrdly, was designed for Lahofer ? one of the largest wine producers in the Czech Republic.

Chybik + Kristof drew on the region's archetypal Moravian wine cellars when designing the building.
It measures 3,900 square metres and is formed of three interconnected structures: a wine-making facility, an administrative space and a visitor centre with an adjoining tasting room.
The studio added stairs leading up to the sloping, walkable roof of the visitor centre to create an amphitheatre between the public spaces and the parts of the building used for production.
The wine producer plans to use the amphitheatre as a community space that will host cultural events, including theatre performances and grape harvest celebrations.
Its contoured structure was informed by the agricultural landscape surrounding it, where the grapevine grows in neat rows.

"The building is integrated within the landscape in a way that the distance between the vine rows determines the structural elements," said Chybik + Kristof co-founders Ond?ej Chybík and Michal Kri?tof.
"This series of structural elements forms the space of the visitor centre and the administration part of the complex," they told Dezeen. "...
