Urlar Architecture

Written by  Staff Reporters

Wairarapa wine producer Urlar has completed an extension to its winery, with larger red and white fermentation halls, a dedicated press hall, offices, laboratory testing, a cellar door and tasting room with lounge and dining spaces, and a commercial kitchen and supporting amenities.

Wellington-based DLA Architects designed three-dimensional triangular accordian cedar clad walls, adjacent darker folded metal 'armour' screens, and triangular dormers, providing a contrast to Urlar's organic, sustainable, biodynamic winegrowing practices.

The existing modest winery building is repurposed as the barrel hall and surrounded by the new winery production and ancillary spaces, providing a four-fold increase in production space.
