Martin’s Lane Winery Building
Tucked into a hillside in Kelowna, British Columbia, the design of the newest winery in the von Mandl Family Estates creates an intimate relationship between the topography of the land and a new gravity-flow winery.
The barrel storage is set back into the hillside to take advantage of stable earth temperatures, minimize HVAC use and maintain a constant, ideal temperature and humidity without the need for conventional heating or cooling systems. The facility?s exterior is cladded with obsidian-painted structural steel and rusted corrugated steel for siding and roof overhangs. Siding panels are tilted downhill to visually underscore the story of the gravity-flow process.
The split roof design with strategically located clerestory windows provide ample natural light throughout the space. The operable windows draw in breezes from the lake, which funnel through the building, providing natural ventilation. The windows also provide a visual connection to the land and nature with views to the lake and surrounding vineyards.
