December 30, 2021 Hana Abdel 0

Wine Social is a cultural space where you can experience wine in comfort through blind tasting of 5 wines curated by a sommelier. The concept is a new world opening up when you open the secret gate, walk a narrow path and enter a white cave and a space under the sky where darkness and light coexist.

The building façade is a monolithic light weight material, with double layers of offset windows for each floor. The windows are arranged in a concertina pattern, billowing with the building’s curving form. Graded coloured reveals are reminiscent of a grove of trees.

The Rose House consists of alterations to a two storey house. A solid masonry façade responds to and protects the house from the site’s street frontage, a charmless and inhospitable cul-de-sac consisting of 1970s apartment building car parking podiums and the Bradfield Highway beyond. The cul-de-sac and nearby highway, a source of constant noise, needed to be addressed in the reconfiguration.
