SELECTED PROJECT
SEGHESIO WINERY
Saving $$ by Design
CHALLENGE Develop an overall plan to identify the most cost effective
solution so the Seghesio Winery could meet its production goals for
the next decade.
SOLUTION The plan developed recommended
restoring the Old Winery Building into a
barrel cellar, with tasting room and offices.
The existing building resembled a large old
agricultural storage type building. The
Fifth Resource Group designed a more modern looking
winery building typical of many of such uses
in Sonoma County and kept the roof form of
the original building.
RESULTS A cost effective solution that will
provide Seghesio Winery with the facilities
it needs to meet its production goals for
the next decade while also reducing it’s
operating expenses by bringing the barrel
storage onsite instead of continuing the
expense of a leased barrel facility plus
transportation costs. Sustainable “Green”
Design elements used include: Bringing barrel
storage onsite to reduce environmental impacts
from trucking, super insulated shell, night
air cooling, photovoltaic solar to generate
power onsite.
