Award winning project: R Lopez de Heredia (2006), Visitor Centre, Tasting Room, Cellar in Haro.

Zaha Hadid Architects designed the Pavilion for the R. López de Heredia Viña Todonia winery located in Haro la Rioja in Spain for Vinatodina.

The interior of this wine-tasting room is an unexpected merge of old and new. The nearly 100-year-old kiosk dominates a space imbued with a contemporary computer-generated aesthetic.

Quote from the Jury Report:'The jury found two projects whose interior and exterior form a coherent whole: a shop-cum-promotional display for a winery in Spain, designed by architect Zaha Hadid, and a seaside pavilion in England, produced by multifaceted designer Thomas Heatherwick. In pinpointing these two buildings – perhaps better described as ‘pavilions’ – jury members discussed the appropriateness of labelling the projects as interior design: are they not actually works of architecture? The final decision was that the iconic exteriors of both structures have given rise to interiors that are undeniably related to their shells but also striking in their own right. Selecting these two designs is the jury’s way of emphasizing the importance of projects in which exterior and interior are seen as equal parts of one task, preferably to be realized by a single designer or design firm.'
