Wine cellars are by far the most common agricultural buildings in contemporary architecture.
For a quarter of a century, wine industry professionals have called on the most prestigious architects to create emblematic buildings that reflect their brand image.

The objectives of a winery renovation or construction project are often multiple: to meet technical and functional requirements, to switch to gravity-fed production, to optimize logistics, to offer visitors a new experience.
With the advent of wine tourism and the integration of tasting and dining areas, the winery becomes the meeting point for sharing stories with visitors.

As project managers and programme engineers specialized in the wine industry, our job is to master this complexity and make this magic possible.

Temperature management is particularly critical for controlling fermentation and wine ageing.

Why organsise an architectural competition for the renovation or construction of a winery?


A successful competition captures the public's imagination, provides a compelling story and sets the brief.
A competition is a highly effective way of finding the right design team, drawing up specifications, involving stakeholders, exploring potential concepts and gaining public support.

BAM's competitions provide the client's team with a clear, visionary narrative, backed up by architectural and technical knowledge. One of the main strengths of the BAM team is its architectural expertise.

We believe that the quality of a building is largely determined by the quality and depth of thought that goes into its specifications. We devote a lot of energy to drawing up the best possible specifications, which allows the architects to concentrate on the creative response. This creativity is distilled into the concept of the winning team and the initial imagery that shows the promise of the future, long before permits are obtained and construction begins.
