Inspired by the atypical nature of the brief, Winery VV is a project that derives its individuality from its place and architecture. Located in the middle of the beautiful rural area of Flanders, old asparagus fields made place for the Valke Vleug Winery in Puurs, covering a vineyard of 17 000 vines. Respecting the Flemish tradition, Vincent Van Duysen Architects embedded the project in the existing landscape paying homage to the old agricultural buildings in the rural area of Klein Brabant. The design of wineries have received great architectural interest abroad, which in Belgium has still been exceptional so far. The project takes its name from the Valke Loop, a watercourse found on old registry plans as ‘Valke Vleugel’.
