这个私人酒窖位于德克萨斯山地的东部边缘,是布兰科河一个隐蔽的弯道上的一个目的地。在坚实的石灰石山坡的北面开凿,喷射混凝土内壁在东西两侧受到高大的橡树和榆树的保护,使其几乎消失在原生景观中。不起眼的外部入口庭院揭示了神秘的氛围。
Located at the eastern edge of the Texas Hill Country, this private wine cave serves as a destination along a secluded bend of the Blanco River. Excavated into the north face of a solid limestone hillside, this shotcrete lined tube is protected on the east and west by tall oak and elm trees, allowing it to nearly disappear within the native landscape. The unassuming exterior entry court reveals a bit of mystery as it provides just a glimpse of what lies within. Heavy limestone boulders, collected from the excavation, and lush vegetation further camouflage the entry as you descend into the mouth of the cave.
品酒室、酒吧、酒窖和休息室都藏在一个18英尺高x70英尺深的隧道中。洞穴的外部开口被一个板状的混凝土门户所覆盖,该门户与石灰石的不规则表面相吻合,并在结构上保留了土坎的入口。混凝土的作用是随着时间的推移,让本地苔藓和常春藤依附在表面,并爬上两侧的石灰岩墙,使顶墙进一步与周围环境融合。
A tasting lounge, bar, wine cellar, and restroom are all tucked into an 18’ tall x 70’ deep existing tunnel. The exterior opening of the cave is capped with a board-formed concrete portal that molds to the irregular surfaces of the limestone and structurally retains the mouth of the earth cut. The concrete is meant to patina naturally over time as native moss and ivy clings to the face and climbs onto the flanking limestone walls to further blend the headwall into its surroundings.
一旦进入室内,白橡木与乌木以及垂直纹理的花旗松混合在一起,在墙壁和垂下的天花板上,与周围更粗犷的混凝土和石头形成一个温暖的对比。定制的隔热和断热钢窗和木窗提供了内部和外部之间的分离,以及娱乐休息室和冷冻酒窖。回收的雪松被打捞和铣削成活边的台面,用于品尝吧台和浮动的洗手间盥洗室。"它就像一艘装在瓶子里的船,"该项目的首席建筑师Brian Korte, FAIA指出。"木质嵌件的组件故意远离现有的洞穴墙壁,以便房间保持适应性"。
Once inside, a study of white oak, both raw and ebonized, mixes with vertical grain Douglas fir to panel the walls and dropped ceilings as a warm contrast to more rugged concrete and stone that surrounds. Custom insulated and thermally broken steel and wood windows provide separation between the interior and exterior, as well as the entertaining lounge and the chilled cellar. Reclaimed cedar was salvaged and milled for live-edged countertop surfaces for the tasting bar and the floating restroom vanity. "It's like a ship in a bottle," notes Brian Korte, FAIA, lead architect for the project. "The components of the wood insert are deliberately kept away from the existing cave walls so that the room remains adaptable."
坐落在山洞后面的全拱形轮廓下,私人酒窖被橱柜包围,为不断扩大的私人收藏品+/-4000瓶提供存储空间。 这个空间的温度由地下自然低温控制,辅以冷却,以帮助保持55-60度的最佳氛围。
Sitting under the fully arched profile at the back of the cave, the private cellar is surrounded by casework providing storage for an ever-expanding private collection of +/-4,000 bottles. This space is thermally controlled by the naturally colder subterranean temperatures with supplemental cooling to help maintain an optimal atmosphere of 55-60 degrees.
