winery and guest houses complex in aghavnadzor village in vayots dzor region of armenia. the picturesque landscape of aghavnadzor village is shaping the scenario of the vineyards and winery area, offering possibility of short term residences in guest houses. the guest houses are located on northern part of the plot, creating a welcoming area for visitors, from modest entry zone to a maze of modular elements of different typologies of guest houses units and their public zones, such as restaurant, spa area and other common rooms. The path then lays through vineyards to brutalist shapes of winery, which are intertwined with landscape through series of voids and monumental shapes. Both guest houses and winery use local stone material mixed with concrete to achieve sustainable building technology, where the outer walls offer both insulation and lightweight construction.
