KUZUBAĞ WINE FACILITY
Around 40% of Turkey’s wine production is sourced from Denizli’s Çal Region. Kuzubağ Wine Facility is the strongest candidate to be the leader of the Çal Winery Route with its exclusive location.
The project’s main motivation comes from the extraordinary landscape in between the geomorphologies and the surrounding textures. Our landscaping project has crowned Kuzubağ’s architecture and the unique geomorphologic properties of the location.
Visitors are guided to the entrance from Vineyard Road – Cypress. A tectonic topography was created between the entrance, courtyard, amphitheater, and the terrace with the help of the landscape elements. Along the pathway, where the plants of the region are located, textures, colors, and smells give visitors an indigenous experience. The use of soil, concrete, and soil colors resulting from treatment in concrete; this pattern is matched with indigenous occlusive elements, and the latter rise to the upper part of the building, thus, creating its path, view, and activity areas. It also allows us to see all the connectivity involved in the pattern.
The sense of “belonging” can be felt over the site and the building with the help of the landscaping, which became one with its surrounding. It influences the building and blends in with the context, not drawing unnecessary attention to itself. The upper elevation of the facility can be reached by following the water element as a representation of the irrigation system in the vineyards and circulates the courtyard. Courtyard’s material selection and the olive tree in the middle are a manifestation of the user returning to earth with a reflection of light, and a single tree is a very special ground texture. In addition to the use of local materials, the whole composition links the building to the characteristic of Çal’s geomorphology.

DS Landscape & Architecture
DS is a leading design office practising at the intersection of architecture and landscape architecture both in theoretical and practical areas for over 20 years with the mission to create applicable, sustainable, eligible designed environments. Essential motivation of each design at DS Architecture is to build a specific microcosmos. Nature is contemplated often by the design team to generate parametric designs with syntactical perception of nature. Our design team with principle of combining artistic qualities together with economical and ethical values, considers multilayered, multidisciplinary, multicultural, contemporary complexity as a source to design neat, uniqe, influential and innovative environments.
