By creating a 10-foot-wide transition zone, access was provided to the fermentation level directly from the tasting room and to the barrel level from the offices. The transition space between the phase one and phase two structures houses the lab, employee toilet and shower room, space for mechanical equipment, electrical panels and the building's fire-suppression system. The lab also serves as the wine- maker's office and has a "command post" view of the fermentation room and direct access to the crush pad. The fact that the owner lives in Texas and has a busy medical practice could have been an obstacle to bringing the proj- ect to completion within a short time frame. Fortunately the winemaker, archi- tects, engineers and contractors all had a great deal of experience in winery design and construction, and they pulled together to complete the project in plenty of time for the 2013 harvest.
