Creating modern and innovative architecture closely connected to local culture and tradition is clearly visible in global trends. Designing sustainable architecture related to the idea of critical regionalism gains more and more popularity. One of the presumptions of this concept is direct, dialectic contact of the building and nature. According to Kenneth Frampton, the fundamental characteristic of critical regionalism is “place-form”, i.e. creating architecture closely connected to the place and terrain it occupies, taking into account lighting, topography, and climate. In this paper, I will analyse selected contemporary European wineries as examples of architecture closely connected with green areas due to their function. I will try to answer the question whether these buildings, created for people respecting and enjoying the nature, can be considered exemplary solutions for designs aiming at maintaining environmental values.
