The Schreckbichl Winery has undergone a comprehensive architectural transformation over time, combining production, hospitality, and contemporary architectural expression into a coherent whole. The project includes both the original winery extension (2012) and a recent major refurbishment and modernization (completed 2024), resulting in a renewed architectural identity that unites tradition and innovation.
The earlier intervention introduced a distinctive architectural concept based on a vineyard-inspired façade made of aluminium expanded metal. Approximately 1,000 m² of aluminium mesh, mounted on around 200 steel frames, forms a semi-transparent skin that filters light and creates a dynamic relationship between building and landscape. The structure is supported by a substantial steel framework of around 150 tons, integrating roof and façade constructions into a unified system.
The recent refurbishment further develops this concept, introducing a contemporary wine shop, a striking tower element, and refined façade detailing. Glass surfaces open the building towards the vineyards, while timber and metal elements create a balanced interplay between tradition and modernity. The architectural language strengthens the winery’s identity as both production site and visitor destination.
Metall Ritten contributed across both phases with structural steel construction, façade systems, and metal detailing, ensuring technical precision and continuity throughout the evolution of the project.
