Scheme will deliver new visitor centre for Rioja producer Bodegas Faustino

Foster & Partners has revealed designs for the latest phase of its collaboration with Rioja producer Bodegas Faustino, which will see the delivery of a new visitor centre inspired by the industrial heritage of the existing winery.

The proposals also involve extension and refurbishment of current facilities at Bodegas Faustino’s base in Oyón, in northern Spain.

The visitor centre will be a lightweight structure made from timber sourced from local forests and featuring anti-funicular arches that maximise the building’s structural performance and minimise the use of materials.
