Chateau Cheval Blanc Winery - Christian de Portzamparc



French architect Christian de Portzamparc, winner of the 1994 Pritzker Prize, conceived of the new Chateau Cheval Blanc in Saint-Emilion.



The entirely concrete construction boasts six curvilinear load-bearing walls that flow through the program as the main support system connected by a series of crossbeams.


The re-purposed orangery, originally part of the chateau, now acts as the reception with a small glass enclosure connecting it to the new project that extends views towards the exterior.
