Wine Research Facility

Project Details

A fun project to be involved with, this building needed to be designed to allow for plant growth but also to allow students and researchers to study root growth around the vines. In an area where liquefaction could prove to be problematic and there were soft soils near the surface, we came up with a combined approach, with the building superstructure supported on piles down to the gravels at depth and the growth pods sitting over a reinforced gravel raft in the middle.
