2009 Hawkes Bay/Gisborne Architecture Awards Winner
Elephant Hill Estate & Winery
Surrounded by vineyard, this new winery unites all its principal functions within a main pavilion that captures views of the ocean views and Cape Kidnappers. A contemporary European design approach is expressed in pre-weathered copper exterior cladding that takes its cue from the ocean and dominant horizontal lines that allude to the rows of vines. Impeccably detailed, sophisticated interior spaces readily embrace the activities of the restaurant, office and winemaking operation and provide neutral backdrops for the owners' developing art collection.
