Richard Stafford - Banrock Station

Banrock Station is an exemplary example of an innovative cellar door that truly reflects the brand. Australian architect, Richard Stafford, is the brain behind some of Australia's icon cellar doors including Barossa Valley Estate.

Richard has first hand experience working in a cellar door, through his wife Tania, whose family owns the renowned Barossa winery, Bethany Wines. Richard understands what attracts visitors and how to provide an experience that makes them want to stay longer.

A winery's cellar door is far more than a place to taste wine. It needs to represent and express the respective wine brand's distinctive position in the market and be evocative and enticing to the consumer. To make this tangible expression happen, you need a talented architect.

In the case of Banrock Station great efforts were made to make the cellar door environmentally friendly and energy efficient. Materials such as rammed earth walls and natural timbers were used so the building would reflect its surrounds and weather harmoniously with the environment.

Active and passive energy solutions were incorporated. Solar panels and the recycling of grey water were used to keep energy waste to a minimum. High level windows that can be opened help vent the building naturally, and the rammed earth wall faces west to help store heat from the sun.

Banrock Station is about preserving the environment, and the cellar door clearly reflects this intention.
