House of Flowers

House of Flowers

The House of Flowers is a complete renovation and partial expansion of an existing winery. The project included lifting half of the building roof by 4 feet, replacing two exterior walls below the raised portion with full-height glazing, addition of a kitchen within the footprint of the existing adjacent building, and the addition of an open accessory structure housing the outdoor kitchen.
