horse barn winery

When the owners told us then wanted to build a winery and tasting space inside an existing barn we were hooked. Who wouldn’t want to have a glass of wine in an old barn? Due to limited funds the idea was to enclose, insulate, and conditioned a wine production area within the barn. The wine tasting area would be in the unconditioned remainder of the barn. The design solution was simply to clean and open the existing structure then inserts a new enclosure mass for wine production. The tasting area would also include a stair to a new event loft with views of the wine production below. Unfortunately the local building officials belief that the humans only enjoy conditioned space has put this phase of the project on hold indefinitely.

When the owners told us they wanted to build winery production and a tasting space inside an existing barn we were hooked. Who wouldn’t want to have a glass of wine in an old barn? Due to limited funds the we chose to enclose, insulate, and conditioned a wine production area within only one third of the barn. The unconditioned and inexpensive wine tasting area would be in the remainder of the barn. The design solution was simply to clean and open the existing structure then inserts a new enclosed mass for wine production. In the tasting area visitors could enjoy the authentic barn structure and climb to the loft to enjoy views of the winery production below.
