“Rustic modern. This is amazingly detailed, both quiet and painterly. The materiality of the project is authentic, beautiful, and calm.”

—2013 Professional Awards Jury

“质朴的现代。安静如画的细部令人惊讶。真实，美丽，宁静。”

–2013年专业奖评审委员会

本项目是反映和鼓励管理与保护实践的园林建筑学的潜在范例。客户要保护自然栖息地、区域植物生态和水资源的承诺在整个项目中都得到贯彻。本设计是把一个历史性的、已废弃的20世纪20年代的加油站和不透水的土地改造成一个关注水文、反映生态的设计，包括一个品酒屋、一个有机花园和一个拥有有机酒厂和蔬菜农场的农场站。

This project is a model of the potential of landscape architecture to reflect and encourage stewardship and conservation practices. The client’s commitment to preserving native habitat, regional plant ecology, and water resources is salient throughout. The design transforms a historical, defunct 1920’s gas station and impermeable lot into an example of hydrologically focused, ecologically reflective design which accommodates a tasting room, an organic garden, and a farm stand for an organic winery and vegetable farm.

▲Site Plan. 总平面图

本设计采用当代景观建筑学的语言、在这个一英亩的品酒屋内来使客户坚守的土地管理和保护生物多样性的承诺得到明显展示。设计团队与主人和建筑师密切合作，在品酒屋、花园和景观之间创造出了视觉上、物质上和空间上的连续性。这是通过以下手段来实现的：仔细选择地区本地和功利植物，在拆毁过程中对现场上发现的现有材料进行重新设置，在组织施工现场时让然雨水管理起中心作用，为自发性和发挥提供机会。

整个场地中，设计庆祝了季节性有机食品的多产性景观，参照了375英亩的有机葡萄园和酒厂，葡萄在这里被种植，酒在这里被制造。在区域原生态的环境中，每一株植物被设计成为公众提供与有机农业实践直接接触的机会。一片多产的橄榄林从以前的橄榄园中拯救了20棵老树。古老的橄榄树形成了规模不同的庭院空间，建造了远处葡萄园的风景。香草和蔬菜花坛是由种着为葡萄酒搭配的有机的季节性食物的镀锌钢支架撑起的床以及在品酒屋的酒吧里制作鸡尾酒的水果和香草构成的。场地西边的角落里有一小块地，从割出来的一条下路可以到达，这里是季节性的展示覆盖作物的花园，如安妮女王的花边、荞麦、芥末和向日葵，这些植物被梅德洛克艾姆斯葡萄园用来吸引授粉者和其他一些有益的昆虫。建造一英亩的场地、草地、石兰和本地的橡树会让人想起出现在客户的农场和保护区上的最主要的植被群体。

▲ Axonometric Plan. 透视

经过仔细考虑的排水策略增强了下暴雨时的基础设施，是对当地典型的季节性洪灾的应对。微妙的层级处理引导雨水沿着有植被的洼地进入一个雨水花园，这个花园位于主品酒屋空间的中心位置。本地的湿地植物自然地渗透和吸收现场积存的雨水，减缓其回到泄水台最终流回脆弱的俄罗斯河的速度。屋顶上的雨水通过甲板上的网格来传送，沿着雨水链进入雨水花园。像碎石路这样的透水地平表面可以为过滤和地下水补给留出余地，并缓解已经最大化的市政雨水系统的负担。

特定场地设施增强并有意思地重新解读了葡萄园方言。一个过大的电线杆和电缆网格结构被安置在橄榄林中，勾勒出了葡萄园网格基础设施的几何结构——电缆和电线杆覆盖了当地的景观。在电线杆和电缆底下，一个自定义的12英寸长的木质农场桌子参考了兰特别墅的设计，中间带有一个长长的镀锌的钢槽，夏季用来放置冰冻的白葡萄酒。

品酒屋景观使用的材料同样表达了客户对当地的自然系统和资源保护的关注；谨慎的材料选择参考了农庄的品质；镀锌的钢，风化改造木，板状的混凝土，砂砾和风化花岗岩。混凝土和碎石小路提供了一个基准，利用它来测量发生在可持续性管理的景观内的季节变化。一道现有的红木篱笆在拆毁过程中被特意保留了下来，被重新改造，在引用这个标志性的场所的历史时可以借鉴一个复杂的风化装饰。

The design applies the language of contemporary landscape architecture to make evident the client’s deeply held commitment to land stewardship and protection of biodiversity at this one-acre tasting room. The design team worked closely with the owner and architect to create visual, material, and spatial continuity between the interior of the tasting room, the garden, and the landscape beyond. This was achieved through careful selection of regional native and utilitarian plants, through the repurposing of existing materials discovered on site during demolition, by giving stormwater management a central role in organizing the site, and by providing opportunities for spontaneity and play.

A carefully considered site drainage strategy heightens the experience of stormwater infrastructure and is responsive to seasonal inundations typical of the region. Subtle manipulation of grades directs rainwater along vegetated swales and into a rain garden that is on-center with the main tasting room space. Native wetland plants naturally filter and absorb rainwater captured from the site and slow its return to the water table and ultimately the fragile Russian River. Roof water is conveyed over the trellis at the deck, down rain chains and into the rain garden.

Permeable ground plane surfaces such as gravel allow for filtration and groundwater recharge, and relieve the burden on the maximized municipal stormwater system.

Site-specific installations amplify and playfully reinterpret the vineyard vernacular. An over-sized post and cable trellis structure is nestled into the olive grove and conjures the geometry of vineyard trellis infrastructure—the cables and posts that blanket the local landscape. Beneath the posts and cables, a custom 12′ long wood farm table references Villa Lante with a long galvanized steel trough down the middle for icing bottles of white wine in summer.

The materials used in the Tasting Room landscape are equally expressive of the client’s attention to local natural systems and resource conservation; discreet material choices reference qualities of the farm property: galvanized steel, weathered repurposed wood, board-formed concrete, gravel and decomposed granite. Concrete and gravel paths provide a datum against which to measure the seasonal variations that occur within the sustainably managed landscape. An existing redwood fence intentionally salvaged during demolition, was repurposed to lend a complex weathered finish citing the history of this iconic site.
