Text description provided by the architects. Our brief was to create a building that would, in the same manner, take its reference from the special characteristics of ‘Fijnbosch’. The building should reflect the setting and show its respect by blending harmoniously with the background. Visitors should also always be made aware of the spectacular views towards Simonsberg and the Drakenstein mountain range in the distance. The tasting area should be able to accommodate bespoke wine-tasting experiences designed around each client’s wishes. It was, therefore, to have a lounge area, a tasting area, a wine room, and a chef’s kitchen for demonstrations. There was also a need for a farm office to be housed in the same premises.
