Waechter Architecture Designs a Sparkling Addition for an Oregon Winery

For its modest 1,500-square-foot size, Corollary Wine’s new tasting room by Waechter Architecture glows as if an alien ship has landed on the horizon. Perched atop one of the Willamette Valley’s taller hills and wrapped in metal that’s powder-coated a custom red just shy of fluorescent, the building’s sharp origami folds stand out in the rolling landscape.

“Rather than hanging a sign somewhere, Corollary wanted the building to be an element of its brand,” says Waechter’s project lead Alexis Coir. But beyond being a bold building-as-logo, the tasting room “actually has a light touch architecturally,” she adds. “It’s really about the land.”
