The Elesko Winery and Zoya Museum project brings together winemaking, art, and gastronomy within a unified architectural complex set in the vineyard landscape of the Little Carpathians. The masterplan responds to the natural topography of the site, allowing the extensive production facilities to be largely embedded into the terrain while maintaining a low profile within the surrounding landscape.
The architectural composition is defined by the contrast between horizontal concrete volumes and lightweight glazed structures. The public areas of the winery and museum open towards the vineyards through expansive glazing, terraces, and landscaped outdoor spaces. Green roofs and carefully shaped landforms further integrate the complex into its natural surroundings.
The internal organization establishes a clear separation between production operations and visitor circulation, while maintaining visual connections to the winemaking and ageing processes. Exposed concrete, glass, and a restrained material palette establish a consistent architectural language, connecting the industrial character of the winery with the neutral exhibition spaces of the Zoya Museum.
The result is an architectural complex in which production, culture, and landscape are brought together within a coherent design concept.
