laser cut panel which offers beautiful dappled shading outside the wine lounge and restaurant area. The former warehouse of the Winery has been artfully renovated into a Venue Hall. This extension was intended to mirror the silhouette of the existing building within a new metal structure, but the main structure of the extension had to ‘disappear’ into the landscape. The reflection of the landscape in the tinted glass panels achieved exactly that. Now the Venue Hall stands as an eye-catching ‘mirror box’ set within the new metal structure, which repeats the shape of the original building’s façade and reflects the magnificent surrounds. The Venue Hall includes marble flooring, glass walls, huge pivot screens with laser cut panels hiding doors leading to an industrial kitchen. This is beautifully finished off with magnificent brass chandeliers. “Interior design here aimed to combine the existing industrial style of the warehouse with modern elements of public spaces. The eclecticism was chosen as an essential idea in interior design process,” adds Julia. The fluidity of the design has been enhanced by wooden furniture and cladding by Pierre Cronje Fine Furniture and by bronze sculptures and elements by Charles Haupt (Bronze Age Studio). Quoin Rock 65
