This is the Perez Cruz Winery by Chilean architect Jose Cruz Ovalle, he received the "Spirit of Nature Wood Architecture Award" for his innovative use of wood in his buildings and the interior atmosphere it creates. Perez describes his use of wood and states that "The material shows its splendour from the very day a column rises up or a beam is put in place. One can no longer differentiate between the structural work and the finishing. We can inhabit the immediacy of the structures and the contact with the surfaces, be they bent or straight, flat or warped.” The laminated bent wood creates a wine barrel-like shape on both the exterior and interior, making the overall feeling of the building be very natural, warm.
