The renowned architecture magazine Area has recently dedicated an article to the Cantina Podere La Chiesa project, designed by And Studio Architects.
The article highlights how, from the earliest design phases, the studio focused on the harmonious integration of the building with the surrounding Tuscan landscape. The winery's façades evoke symbols linked to winemaking traditions, with patterns and shapes that reflect the essence of wine. Inside, the spaces have been designed to offer visitors a unique experience, including areas dedicated to tasting, winemaking, and bottling, making the production process an integral part of the sensory journey.
Furthermore, the article highlights a distinctive aspect of the project: the focus on the aesthetic, functional, and sensory quality of the building. During the day, the structure appears as a solid block that blends seamlessly with the landscape, while at night, its openings illuminate, creating a play of light that accentuates the interior spaces. This transformation enhances the connection between architecture and the surrounding environment, celebrating the natural beauty of the Tuscan hills.
The photographs by Pietro Savorelli and Stefano Perego, published in Area, masterfully capture the essence of the project, emphasizing both its harmony with the landscape and the meticulous attention to architectural detail. These images provide an in-depth perspective of the winery, showcasing how architecture can engage with tradition and the surrounding environment in an innovative and respectful way.
