The structure’s concrete walls echo the ancient stone dwellings found in the hills of Ireland. In a gesture of sustainable craft, the wood used to board-form those exterior concrete walls was repurposed for the tasting room’s interior cabinetry.

Shanghai-based firm TOPOS Design unveils a series of stores for clothing line Mingsi using Borges’ script of the Garden of Forking Paths to create a spatial narrative extending the soft continuous curved area, producing a déjà vu-like garden labyrinth experience for various sites in different cities.
Voyager 21
Each Mingsi House is like a bonus to the one before it, a garden labyrinth tucked away in the city that together creates the spatial memory of the brand. The garden maze layout stands in contrast to conventional fashion retail, but it is the novelty that strikes as a design starting point. The primary component of Mingsi is nano paint, and the new streamlined design tries to incorporate restrained colour... More

Tumut Community Labyrinth
This site-specific labyrinth, created as a gift to a small regional town in Australia, enhances the quality of its public domain, invites participation by all and promotes the civic life of the town. It is truly of its people and place - a local charitable trust had the vision, provided the funding, and sourced local contractors and materials while the local council donated the land. Its public parkland riverside setting close to the town provides an ideal location for community access, events, spaces for learning and enhanced enjoyment of the natural environment.The 1200m2 labyrinth provides an opportunity for reflection with a very clear path and a calming environment – the opposite of a maze, which is designed to con...
