Long Table Winery

A working winery wanted a tasting hall that could seat two hundred without ever feeling like an event space. The site ran east–west along a low ridge, and the client's one fixed requirement was that every seat catch the same late-afternoon light that makes the valley worth visiting in the first place.

PLINTH answered with a single 90-metre room under one continuous folded-plate concrete roof. The folds are structural — each pleat spans the full width of the hall without an intermediate column — and they are angled so that clerestory glazing on the north face of every fold washes the room in even, indirect light from open to close.

The long south wall is almost entirely glazed, set back behind a deep concrete colonnade that keeps direct sun off the tables while framing the vineyard in a rhythm of tall, narrow openings. The bar and production glazing sit at the west end, so the working winery is always visible but never in the way.

The building was cast on site over a single season, with the folded roof poured against reusable steel formwork that PLINTH Construction fabricated specifically for the pour sequence.
