The Wine House and Kitchen was a restoration project on a 1920s farmhouse villa. The house was moved from its original site and converted to a commercial wine tasting room, conference facility and restaurant. The rooms were all treated slightly differently giving each a unique feel, however care was taken to maintain a continuity and coherence throughout the building.
We worked closely with local conservation architects and the end product is a lively and elegant space with restrained use of decoration to reference the buildings history. The interior, while gutsy in its own right, gives the purveying of beautiful wine and food the lead. Designed in collaboration with Michelle Freeman.
