Proposal for a new wine tasting facility at the Portuguese vineyard Quinta do Monte d’Oiro
in Freixial de Cima, Alenquer, north of Lisbon
Alenquer (PT)
2020

From Sagres red earth and ceramics to the characteristic Portuguese wines runs a common thread of a a rich and traditional craftmanship where cultivation and modernization of what the earth provides takes place. Our proposal for a new wine tasting facility wants to connect, be rooted, to the earth and that tradition. Doing so by using a reinforced rammed earth technique, so called taipa, where the strata of the local earth will make the history and land visible in the architecture itself.
