Bodegas Ramón Bilbao, La Rioja

Founded in 1924, the winery Ramón Bilbao is located in the famous Spanish wine-growing region of La Rioja. In 2017 it was expanded from around 4,500 m² to more than 21,000 m² as part of an extensive renovation. One of the key aims was to “bring the vineyard closer to the winery”. At the same time, the architecture was to be made more attractive for the more than 10,000 visitors to the winery every year. Visitors should be immersed in the landscape of the vineyard as soon as they arrive. The roof of the entrance building was therefore planted with typical vineyard vegetation and the numerous vines in front of the building leave no doubt as to where you are. Due to the barrel shape of the roof, the tried and tested pitched roof systems with FS 75 in the less steep areas and Georaster® in the steepest areas of the roof were used for the greening. This prevents the substrate from slipping. The considerable shear forces due to the size of the pitched roof are safely transferred into the roof structure by concrete shear barriers.
