Briefly

Fotis Zapantiotis's Ktima Aidipsos winery in northern Evia, Greece, is ingeniously designed to be embedded in the earth, facilitating optimal wine storage while ensuring minimal visual disruption to the landscape. The 1,500-square-meter structure comprises a linear building that houses production facilities and a circular open-air courtyard. The design utilizes the stable temperatures and humidity of the soil to create ideal aging conditions for wines, allowing the surrounding vineyard to dominate the scenery. This approach not only respects the natural terrain but also invites visitors to engage with the vineyard in a meaningful way.
