OMUN WINERY

OMUN Winery is conceived as a sculptural and self-sufficient architectural organism that rises from the viticultural landscape. Designed by Lucio Muniain et al, the project explores the intersection of sacred geometry, passive sustainability, and the cyclical logic of winemaking. Inspired by the Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio, the architectural layout is composed of a series of concentric and interrelated circular volumes, each corresponding to a specific phase of wine production. This spatial arrangement reflects both efficiency and poetic order—where function dictates form and where form becomes symbol.

The use of ferrocement as the primary material allows for conical, self-supporting volumes without waste-generating formwork. These forms are lined with woven bamboo and finished with a textured, shot-concrete skin pigmented to blend with the earth. The result is a monolithic yet organic ensemble, deeply rooted in the context and optimized for climatic comfort.

The entire production process is gravity-fed, minimizing mechanical intervention and preserving the integrity of the wine. From grape reception to fermentation, homogenization, aging, and bottling, every step flows naturally. Half-buried aging chambers regulate temperature passively, while water features and building orientation enhance thermal performance and visitor experience.

More than a functional winery, OMUN operates as an architectural statement—one that communicates with the land, the sun, and the intangible forces that shape both architecture and terroir. It is a built manifesto of cyclical precision and symbolic clarity, conceived not only to produce wine, but to create memory and meaning through space.
