The Space
This architecturally designed, award winning cellar door and dining room is located on a historic winery with uninterrupted views of Mt Buller. The building is a group of pavilions linked to courtyards, terraces, and decks, utilising environmentally sustainable design principles and reflects the warmth and generosity of the owners. The blade walls extend into the landscape, with curated openings allowing glimpses through and across the building and surrounding vines. The entry is designed to respond to the scale and splendour of the mountain range.
In contrast the timber clad tasting room and dining space nestle against the solid masonry providing shelter inside for the occupants. The reduced palette of timbercrete, timber lining, concrete aggregate and raw steel is used to create robust forms, frame views, draw light into the building and create a warm and generous interior. It won the 2023 The Harry Seidler Award for Commercial Architecture in the AIA National Architecture Awards as well a slew of other awards. With sweeping views across Taungurung Country, this location provides multiple spaces for shoot or film productions with a stunning backdrop in the foothills of the Victorian High Country.
