Wine Cave for RIS Collective

Being a wine cellar instead of a bar, this project overall design sustains winemaking undertones. Cladding fire-bricks at the outer layer of insulation wall implies how wine cellars keep humidity and temperature in Burgundy, France. Situated at the core of the layout upstairs, the combination of brass and rusty steelworks is inspired from the still, the apparatus of distilling whisky, providing a centralizing, moderate, distance to serve every customer. A continuity of arc can be seen on the logo, bar façade, and other elevation details from spaces, implementing the unison of corporate image.

Unique Properties

Slotting out an arched doorway, an intriguing masonry arrangement can be found on the brick wall, where the bronze plate is meticulously inlaid and gives a modern touch at the ground floor. Upstairs, the bar station is situated at the core of the layout, providing a centralizing, moderate, distance to serve every customer. Additionally, light and illumination not only delineate textures and material finishing, but also let the space imbued with British vibes. A continuity of arc can be seen on the logo, bar façade, and other elevation details from spaces, implementing the unison of corporate image.

Production Technology

Seats are arranged with a variety of configurations to cater for different demographics of wine tasting. Transparent shelving displays a two-way interaction with customers and passersby: the integration of glass and polished stainless steel creates a carefree lightweightness at the interior; whereas, the floating bottles seen from the exterior facet complements the facade lattice pattern. Besides, the flooring encompassing various wood species colors, mingled with bronze inlays, creates an enhanced visuality.

Design Challenge

To build up a visually well rounded conformity and a continuity of corporate image derivations at the same time, took a lot of time to experiment and then practice. Especially when it came with multiple integration of materials and craftsmanship, without sacrificing functions nor aesthetics.

Project Duration

Completed in May 2022, Taichung city, Taiwan

Operation Flow

At the ground floor, among a rectangular layout and two floor-to-ceiling windows aside, besides reserved spaces for flows and movement, the space is demarcated by functions of wine storage for 1000 bottles, bar station, and work spaces. Whereas, the upstairs is a space for tasting and selling whisky.

Research

Aims to use the material not only focus on its pattern aesthetics, but also include practical purposes. For example, the constant temperature-and-humidity wine storage equipment is covered with Taiwan fire bricks as the outermost layer of thermal insulation material.

Inspiration

Spatial design is like winemaking, from the first step to the whole process, every detail matters the outcome flavor. Prone to be a wine cellar instead of a bar, this project interior design sustains winemaking implications, and uses plentiful indigenous materials at the same time: A dripping shape from the ceiling hints to tears of wine, among textured-painted backdrops. Upstairs, the combination of brass and rusty steelworks is conceived from the still, the apparatus of distillation.
