We are proud to introduce our concept winery designed on the picturesque island of Brać in Croatia, using principles of sacred geometry and proportional systems.
The underlying design basis was the proportionate system of the 22.5° angle, which defines the generation of the mathematics of the golden section, an ancient concept for the description of the mathematically perfect ratio of beauty.
All aspects from the siting of the building - the proportionate shapes of the floorplans, the window sizes, all opening sizes, the size of the stone slabs for the cladding, interior room proportions, the angle of the building in relation to the slope of topography, and the size and shape of the vineyards - incorporated the ancient principles found in the design of classical architectural monuments such as gothic cathedrals, the Egyptian Pyramids and the Parthenon.
