Architectural recordSummary: Up until about a century ago, most buildings in France were made of stone. The introduction of béton armé changed all that, and concrete became an expression of modernity. Paris-based architect Carl Fredrik Svenstedt has designed a number of contemporary structures throughout the country in large blocks of stone, including the Domaines Ott winery in Provence, reimagining the age-old material. Now his latest, another striking winery project, has the plastic quality normally associated with concrete.
The Delas Frères winery is in the dense town center of Tain l’Hermitage on the left bank of the Rhône River in southeastern France, at the foot of terraced, sun-soaked hills that have yielded exceptional grape-bearing vines since Roman times, and that served as inspiration for a signature element of the new winery.
