Medlock Ames Tasting Room - Concept Design
Project :
Architect :
Built: 2009-2011
The design transforms a historical, defunct 1920's gas station and impermeable lot into an example of hydrologically focused, ecologically reflective design which accommodates a tasting room, an organic garden, and a farm stand for an organic winery and vegetable farm. Visual, material, and spatial continuity between the interior of the tasting room, the garden, and the landscape beyond is created through the careful selection of regional native and utilitarian plants, through the re-purposing of existing materials discovered on site during demolition, by giving stormwater management a central role in organizing the site, and by providing opportunities for spontaneity and play.
