Sokol Blosser Winery Wins AIA NW & Pacific Region Design Award
View projectSep 18, 2013
The awards jury of the American Institute of Architects Northwest and Pacific Region found Allied Works' design for the new Sokol Blosser Winery to be "of the highest quality."
Designers will accept the award in Vancouver at the annual conference and awards dinner in October.
The building is conceived as a mass of wood that has been sculpted and carved to form the spaces for occupation, rooms of distinct size and scale that connect to the landscape above and below. It is a “transparent solid”, a building that catches and holds space as it passes through. It is a building linked to the tradition of wood structures of the surrounding farms, and bound to the specific site and purpose of the winery. It is a place to linger, reflect and celebrate the bounty of this place.
