Te Kano Estate Cellar Door

Te Kano Estate Cellar Door

Bannockburn, Central Otago

Te Kano Estate Cellar Door is a collection of shipping containers that provide an intimate cellar door and tasting room. Conceived as a treasure box or chest, the simple building form rests lightly on the ground, extends from rows of vines and reaches out towards the river and wider views beyond.

“An elegantly rendered outcome to a complex brief.
This project is a testament to the architect’s tenacity and stamina to not only solve a myriad of issues but to recognize opportunities and convey these articulately in form.

Stylish, composed detail treatment and material selection throughout provides seamless integration of structural, environmental and services requirements ensuring impressive clarity of the end result.

Container buildings often betray their legacy – here the architectural team has overcome significant constraints with a beautifully executed tour de force providing their clients an iconic built form within the stunning landscape.”
