PROJECT / BODEGAS PORTIA WINERY, GUMIEL DE IZAN, SPAIN
While the lighting concept in the production areas calls for the greatest possible subtle- ty, the visitors’ areas in the centre of the winery requires more extensive, uniform lighting. Fine wood surfaces and low-key colours in the restaurant, the bar, and the degustation lounge make for an exclusive aesthetic. In this environment, downlights designed for 75W low voltage halogen lamps achieve a particularly pleasing light quality. They are incorporated into the vertical blades of the louvred ceiling. In addition to pieces of modern art, the wall decoration features staves of old wine barrels. They are lit by Parscan wallwashers. All in all, the concept of openness and transparency is continued throughout the gastronomy and visitors’ areas. Rows of large windows allow visitors to see both the wine barrels resting inside the Nave de Barricas and the vast
scenery of Ribera del Duero.
The entrance is the only part of the winery where Foster + Partners departed from their global concept of transparency. There, the architects concealed the central tank, which stands seven metres tall, behind blue-green frosted glass. Engle accentuated this giant piece of technology with colour- ful lights so as to make its shape vaguely and mysteriously visible through the large glass surfaces. In summary, the lighting concept builds on the architecture in all parts of Bodegas Portia, enhances it, and adds individual accents. Architecture and lighting together have turned what was a functional building into an adventure where the magic of winemaking becomes tangible for the visitor.

Throughout the building, structures made from old barrel staves are mounted and lit as decorative elements. ERCO Parscan wallwashers for 75W halogen lamps provide vertical illuminance in the restaurant. A glass front opens out onto the roof terrace, where once more, old barrel staves make for an attractive wall decoration.
