ESTATES WINE ROOM The Estates Wine Room provides a wine tasting experience reflecting the exceptional vineyards of the renowned growing regions of the Pacific Northwest, in the heart of Seattle. Located in the historic Pioneer Square neighborhood, the existing space’s history is celebrated through exposed brick walls and heavy timber structure. The design team was challenged to bring the experience of a vineyard tasting to the center of the city. A series of organizing fins are inserted into the century-old warehouse space, creating a striking visual contrast between old and new, public and private. These white-oak clad fins progress through the space at an angle, screening the main patron spaces from the utility and service spaces. In addition to this functional screening, the progression uses images and perspective to create a greater perception of depth for the space. In order to uniquely represent the vineyards, high resolution photographs were taken at the actual vineyards and two of the most iconic images were selected. The images were then processed, cut into vertical strips, and applied to the fins. The imagery is arranged to create the illusion of a single image across the entire space, one image legible from the front and the other from the rear. The staggered progression of fins and imagery create a striking visual and spatial effect. As a final subtle detail, a mirrored edge was applied to each fin, reflecting the patron, the warmth of the historic space and even the neighborhood and city beyond. Through immersion in a rich experience, the patron simultaneously experiences the city, the neighborhood, the vineyard, and finally the wine itself.
