The partly buried building highlights the roof covered with a sail fastened to thin metal arches. These arches echo the graphical layout of the grapevines, enabling to integrate the sail into the vineyard. As a kite, the sail flies and lands, emphasizing all at once the lightness and horizontalness of the building. Inside, sculpture and photography exhibitions are displayed into a 160 sqm gallery benefiting from natural light. The remaining surface is dedicated to wine preservation.
