Please describe the project specifications

When this renowned vineyard sought to elevate its outdoor tasting room, embracing the region's beauty year-round. Our collaborative design resulted in a multi-layered haven for wine lovers. A custom-designed partial Frame structure anchors a permanent rain canopy that extends the building elevation. The membrane is both frame supported as well as cable tension supported and anchored to ground anchors in the landscape. This solution, although a separate structure, brings a covered and connected upper patio to the existing building, extends the tasting room season, and adds a touch of modern elegance to the classic architecture. The upper patio provides around 600 square feet of comfortable seating, rain or shine.


The lower patio transforms with the arrival of summer. By designing a seasonal shade sail structure to the lower patio this section was able to avoid snow loads, it is also not used in the winter so easier to remove then support these loads. The result is an elegant overlapping of shade to create a 3,500-square-foot haven with dashes of sun and lots of shade. This flexible solution ensures guests can enjoy the sunshine without sacrificing comfort. This innovative design extends the season and expands the winery's capacity to host patrons.

For this project, our company took over all aspects of the job, from initial design concepts that were worked on in collaboration with the client. Then, developing the full engineering, foundations, and details for the structure. Finally, the full installation of all aspects, including foundations of both helical anchors as well as concrete foundations and steel framing. The tight coordination with the existing building and landscaping and managing an installation while the tasting room was still open all part of the multifaceted scope that made the project unique.
