Vik Millahue Winery | Smiljan Radić Clarke
Millahue / Chile / 2013
Embedded within the rolling topography, the building extends laterally rather than rising above its surroundings, dissolving into the scale of the valley. Inside, production, storage, and tasting unfold into a continuous spatial sequence. Concrete retaining walls and thickened structural planes stabilize the earth while tempered light and temperature facilitate fermentation and storage. Public spaces unfold gradually, moving from shadowed interiors to elevated terraces that overlook the cultivated fields. Radić quietly intervenes through the calibration of structure and orientation to stabilize vastness.
