ぶどうの木立にリンクするアーチ状の梁

ワイナリーのヴォールト天井は地域の典型的なワインセラーを模したものであり、むき出しのアーチ状の梁が内部空間を重厚な曲線で縁取っている。

鉄筋コンクリートの各アーチは天井の特定の角度に合うように個別に設計されており、アーチの間の距離は立ち並ぶぶどうの木の間隔によって決定されている。

ぶどうの木の列と、そこから立ち上がり空間を貫くアーチがシンメトリーに立ち並ぶことで、人々の視線をぶどうの木々へと誘導する。

ガラス張りのファサードで囲まれた、豊富な光が差し込む南向きのビジターセンターは、木、コンクリート、ガラスで構成されたワインセラーと隣接するテイスティングルームが、訪問者をその農産物を体験するよう誘う。

ヴォールト天井一面に描かれた現代アート

天井一面にはチェコの現代アーティスト、パトリック・ハーブル（Patrik Hábl）による大規模な壁画が描かれている。

土っぽい赤や黒から、ぶどう畑の土壌や気候を思わせる茶色やベージュまで、不規則でまばらなストロークは、土のバリエーションと、土が地面から浮き上がるかのような無重力感を生み出し、時を超えた痕跡を壁に残している。

地形に呼応した高さの異なる2つのホールによる製造プロセス

この建造物は高さの異なる2つのホールに生産施設を収容し、それぞれが特定のプロセスを反映しており、地形を模して内部空間の高さを変えることで、対応する機能的な空間配置を可能にしている。

1つ目の低いホールは、ワイン製造や従業員施設などの業務を集中させ、2つ目のホールは、ワインプレス、セラー、ワインショップなど、低温を必要とする業務を可能にする。

地域に開放されたイベント空間としての波打つ屋上

ヴォールト形状を反映した波打つような屋根は、地域の人々や観光客に開放された文化的なイベントのための劇場として機能し、ワイナリーをこの土地と文化に融合させている。

リズミカルなぶどうの木立と呼応した開放的な屋上空間からは風景を一望することができ、地域の歴史によって育まれた地平線を見下ろすことができる。

〈ラホフェル・ワイナリー〉は、生産拠点から地域文化の立会人へとその機能を拡大し、地域のぶどう収穫祭や演劇公演などの文化イベントに特化したコミュニティスペースとして機能している。

ワイナリーの永続的なコミュニティが、この地域を訪れる人々や幅広いワイン愛好家とつながるためのハブとなっているのである。

CHYBIK + KRISTOF ARCHITECTS COMPLETE THE LAHOFER WINERY IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Nestled in the Moravian countryside, the design of the Lahofer Winery brings together a longstanding wine tradition and contemporary wine-making processes. Housing a visitor center, tasting room and production facilities, the structure immerses itself in the landscape, achieving a subtle symbiosis with the surrounding vines.

August 5, 2020 (Dobšice, Czech Republic) – CHYBIK + KRISTOF ARCHITECTS & URBAN DESIGNERS have completed construction of the Lahofer Winery in the Czech Republic. Nestled in the Moravian countryside, the Lahofer Winery fuses the region’s longstanding wine tradition with a contemporary design in constant dialogue with the surrounding vines. Reflective of modern wine-making processes, the building brings together three distinct interconnected structures – a wine-making facility, the winery’s administrative base, and a visitor center and adjoining tasting room. Emulating archetypal wine cellars of the region, the vault of the winery rests on a grid of arched beams. Acting as a mirror of this shape, an undulant roof serves as an amphitheater for cultural events open to both locals and visitors, merging the winery into the ground – and the culture – on which it rests.

CHYBIK + KRISTOF’s project finds its roots in the legacy of the Lahofer Winery – one grounded in a storied cultural heritage and a profound respect for the natural environment. Responding to Moravia’s topography and architectural tradition, rooted in the culture of wine, the architects conceive a design in symbiosis with the region’s landscape. Reminiscent of the region’s characteristic arched wine cellars, a colonnade of vaulted beams frames the interior space into its storied curve. On its exterior side, draping the winery, an undulant roof acts as an inclined open-air amphitheater and cultural venue. Lightening the volume of the building as it rests on the fertile soil, below lie three separate spaces – each attributed with a distinct function, they share a constant concern for the adjoining nature.

Towered by the concave roof of the amphitheater, the space unfolds into a vast cellar, embracing the design of archetypal Czech wineries defined by the exposed rib construction of the arches. Each reinforced concrete arch is individually designed to fit a specific angle of the ceiling, while the distance between the arches is determined by that between the vine rows. Each module rises from a vine row and runs through the space, achieving perfect visual symmetry and guiding the viewer’s gaze across the grapevines. Enclosed in a glass façade and facing south, the visitor center draws abundant light as the windows act as concealed separation from the exterior vine rows. Informed by the ambient nature, the visitor center invites visitors to fully experience its produce in the barrique cellar, made of wood, concrete and glass, and adjoining tasting room. A large-scale mural painting by Czech contemporary artist Patrik Hábl covers the entire ceiling area. Its tampered, irregular and sparse strokes, ranging from earthy reds and blacks to terroir-reminiscent browns and beiges, echo the variations of the soil and its weightlessness as it seemingly lifts from the ground, leaving its timeless markings on the walls.

In the continuity of this material wave, the structure houses its production in two halls of distinct heights, each mirroring a specific process. The first lower hall centralizes the operations, including wine-making production and employee facilities, while the second allows for operations that require lower temperatures, such as the wine press, the cellar, and the wine store. The varying heights of the interior spaces, emulating the terrain, allow for the alignment of corresponding functional exterior courtyards. While one courtyard serves as the operational area, centralizing logistic and production presses, the other holds the amphitheater, extending sweeping views of the landscape.

An open space emerging from the rhythmic vines, the amphitheater invests the boundless roof, overlooking a horizon nourished by its history. Expanding on the Lahofer Winery’s function from a production site into a witness to the local culture, it acts as a community space dedicated to cultural events, including local grape harvest celebrations and theater performances – a hub for its lasting community to connect with visitors of the region and wide-ranging wine connoisseurs.

Describing the concept, founding architects Ondřej Chybík and Michal Krištof explain, “The design of the Lahofer Winery is deeply rooted in nature, and in the respect thereof. At a time when culture and nature appear to be antagonistic forces, we envision a space reflective of the longstanding symbiosis between the two in the region – one that profoundly respects the environment on which it rests. The structure unfolds into the native terrain, immerses itself into the surrounding vine rows, thereby preserving the essence and integrity of both soil and culture. Additionally, moving beyond a purely productive viewpoint, we prioritize the visitor experience, notably by allocating the roof as a public space open to local and international visitors – an experience essential to the understanding and appreciation of the wine.”

About Lahofer Winery
Deriving its name from the Dobšice native, artistic woodcarver Jan Lahofer, the Lahofer Winery was established in 2003 in the Czech Republic’s historical Moravian wine producing region. The Lahofer winemakers are supported by a strong tradition of viticulture in the Znojmo region, developed through state-of-the-art viticulture procedures and technologies. The winery produces wines from all the main Central European grape varieties, exclusively from grapes grown in their own vineyards (with the exception of the special series of French wines), selling part of their vineyard production to other wine producers. The Lahofer Winery is one of the largest wine producers in the Czech Republic, covering over 430 hectares and produces half a million bottles annually.
