Vertical Panorama Pavilion, 2022
Vertical Panorama Pavilion is The Donum Estate’s newest bespoke architectural experience. The structure was designed by Berlin-based design firm Studio Other Spaces, founded by artist Olafur Eliasson and architect Sebastian Behmann. Nestled on a small hill between the Donum Home and the Spider House, the Pavilion offers an astounding panoramic view of the San Pablo Bay, the Estate vineyards and The Donum Collection.
The design of the Pavilion was envisioned by Olafur Eliasson after visiting Donum in 2019. With a shared passion for sustainability, Eliasson helped to create a holistic space that draws on the beauty of wine, art, design and architecture. With these design principles, set in California light, the Vertical Panorama Pavilion creates a sensational experience that draws on Donum’s participation in the natural world.
Inspired by the history of circular calendars, the conical canopy is centered on a northern-oriented oculus and glazed with 832 colored, laminated glass panels depicting yearly averages of the four meteorological parameters at the Estate – solar radiance, wind intensity, temperature, and humidity. The glass panels consist of 24 colors in variations of translucent and transparent hues, which resonate with the colors of the local environment in the Sonoma Valley. Vertical Panorama Pavilion is a synergy of art and architecture that manifests Studio Other Spaces' vision of designing public spaces through interdisciplinary and experimental methodologies.
Eliasson and Behmann shared, “Vertical Panorama Pavilion is a hospitable space, which celebrates the exceptional wine at Donum and the microclimates that created it. The specific design elements are abstractions of components taken from a vertical slice through the pavilion’s location on the Estate. The pavilion maps out the surrounding ephemera – the soil, vegetation, wind, sun, atmosphere, and rain – and incorporates these into the colorful canopy, reflecting the wine’s unique signature.”
