‘The great building of Bodega Antion by JMP Y Asociados spout out like a stock from the vineyard, established into below ground, in which the production is fed. In the surface we can admire its fruits whereas receive the light of the sun.’

The design is based on two principles. Firstly, the protection and care of the natural environment: moulding the plot of land and to insert the voluminous bodega buildings in such a way that they naturally blend into the site, as if they had always been part of the landscape. Secondly, to make the sales and administration side an advertising landmark and a recognisable brand image. In line with these two principles, the project contemplates rooting the bodega in the earth as if it were a grapevine. Underground, deep down, the production is fed whilst; in the open air, its leaves, bathed by the sunlight, allow us to recognise it, by offering us its clean and desirable fruit. In parallel to the bodega’s operational circuit, the project contemplates a route to enable visitors to enjoy panoramic views of each unique area of the bodega, without interfering in the wine making process. This is a key feature in state-of-the-art bodegas and considerably conditions their design.
