"The Gurdau Winery" is a Czech winery built in 2012 on a green area in the countryside with vines planted on a hillside overlooking the village of Kurdějov. Originally one of the main wine suppliers of the aristocratic court, the up-and-coming Gurdau Winery pays homage to the region's remarkable viticultural tradition.
Designed by Studio Aleš Fiala, the new winery is unique in shape and shaped into a gentle curve that blends seamlessly with the hills in order to match the open countryside surroundings. In the heart of a green space, surrounded by nature. The roof has extensive LV-colored vegetation and is surrounded by 150 kinds of shrubs, which protrude from the "perforated" roof, which is very interesting.
The design of the winery blends traditional and modern elements. The building is embedded in the ground and surrounded by a beautiful and comfortable atmosphere. Concrete and materials such as glass and metal, as well as oak and acacia wood, were used to support the organic shape of the building, and the design showed a variety of details and craftsmanship. By combining large glazing with spacious terraces and sloping roofs, people can experience the natural environment and the changing seasons in an immersive way.
The winery blends in with the surrounding terrain and creates a warm embrace of the natural environment of the wine region. From the terraces and man-made hills with green roofs, one can enjoy spectacular views, from the horizon of Kurdejov, to the distant Pallava and even the vast plains that stretch into Austria.
The insulated triple-glazed and oak slats in front of the windows are combined with each other to prevent overheating in summer, the curved roof maintains sufficient dipping, and the terraces are shaded with tarps. Water heat pumps heat the air and storage tanks collect rainwater to irrigate the vineyards, showing an attitude towards living in harmony with nature.
