Martin’s Lane Winery traces the topography of the land to support the gravity-flow winemaking process taking place inside. Tucked into a hillside in Kelowna, British Columbia, the building’s rectangular form features a central “fracture” that opens the interior to daylight and splits public and production zones. Production spaces devoted to the sequential process of wine making follow the downhill slope of the site, while the public education areas cantilever out over the vineyards, offering sweeping views of nearby Okanagan Lake.
