The Marques de Riscal Winery has commisioned Frank O.Gehry to desingn a hotel for their facilities in ElCiego, Alava (Euskadi), Spain's prncipal wine growing region.

The Marquis de Riscal Winery Expansion contains guest rooms for visitors to the winery, a conference center, a restaurant, an exhibition area, and a wine tasting room.
Major exterior materials are double sided titanium panels in gold, silver and rose, stone, and glass.

Gehry's design is for a highly innovative guilding with titanium and store cladding.

Saluuuuudos

It should be a real HOTTIE in summer!!!!

cool !!! a christmas box destroyed by a child lol

I've got some pictures of this in by Gehry and Partners book, it's great to see it under construction.

Gehry is getting old. He can’t invent anything new. Only money counts fore him. I’m bored of his architecture.

:applause::2cents::2cents::toilet::2cents::2cents::applause:

^This was designed several years ago.

As I remember he is doing the same style fore last few decades so some years ago don’t make difference. Architecture is changing and architects should change too.

Another gehry's project for Spain?I guess spaniards love him... :colgate:

great ¡¡¡
