Contract - April 2015 - 94

The winery (below) was sited
to capture views of the
surrounding vineyards and
beyond. The tasting room
(middle) has an angled roof
and an indoor/outdoor
fireplace that serves an
exterior terrace (opposite).
The "wine library" (bottom) is
a private tasting room, located
at the rear of the barrel storage
area, that is lined with custom
walnut millwork.

clerestories and custom Corten cladding. Corten is a common thread
that unites the buildings of Law Estate, which has a material palette
that also includes board-formed concrete and stucco. The structures
are capped with angled, pitched, and butterfly roofs to collect
rainwater that is used to irrigate the vineyards, demonstrating
Law Estate's commitment to sustainable winemaking practices.
Entry sequence elevates the wine experience
Visitors arrive at the winery's custom Corten front grate and continue
uphill on a gravel driveway that leads to an entry court. An angled
Corten wall extends from the entrance, giving the appearance that
building was carved from the land that has been terraced and planted
with drought-tolerant species.
Beyond the entrance is a space in which both the winemaking
process and the visitor experience intentionally converge: the barrel
storage room. Through a glass wall, visitors can peer into the storage
area, which features a dramatic, curved Corten ceiling that reflects soft
light from glass pendants and cove fixtures. At the back of the barrel
storage room is the "wine library," a private tasting room lined with
custom walnut millwork.
Visitors ascend a staircase to reach the climax of their visit: the
tasting room. The ceiling is lined with Douglas fir planks, and expanses
of glass with butt-glazed corners capture panoramic views of the
estate's hilltop vineyard to the north, Paso Robles to the east, and the
coastal ridge to the west. Rather than taking place at a typical bar
counter, tastings are conducted at a long dining table or at one of
several cozy lounge areas orientated around a fireplace that serves
both the tasting room and its wrap-around exterior terrace. BAR
Architects coordinated with Hirsch Bedner Associates, which
selected the furnishings and fixtures for the project.
Thanks to those killer views and the quality of the wine itself,
Law Estate is thriving with thousands of wine club members who
regularly receive the winery's offerings-which are, for now, all reds
with catchy names like Beguiling, Intrepid, Audacious, and Sagacious.
But before the winery was complete, many neighbors questioned its
unique model and asked Espharam such questions as: "Why are you
building this? You just need a barn. You're crazy-this isn't Napa."
Now those naysayers want to learn how to replicate Law Estate's
success. According to Espharam, "They keep coming back and
asking questions." c
