# Proposition d'architecture : salle de dégustation et chai | Saldanha Mira Arquitetos

## Cover

### A tasting room and cellar set into the Lameira terraces.

*Proposal · Saldanha Mira Arquitetos*

Architectural services from brief to handover for 760 m² of new building above the Távora valley.

- Prepared for: Quinta da Lameira Alta
- Date: 22 March 2027
- Fee basis: 11.5% of build cost

*New tasting room set into the vineyard terraces at dusk*

*Saldanha Mira Arquitetos*

## The brief

### What you asked for

*The brief*

A building that sells the wine before anyone tastes it. 420 m² of tasting room and kitchen above, 340 m² of barrel cellar below, open for the 2029 harvest.

Your enotourism licence came through in January. Visitor numbers are capped at 60 a day, so each visit has to earn more. Today guests taste in the old press shed.

The site is the upper terrace, south facing, a 14 m drop to the road. Budget: €2.86m construction. If any of this is wrong, tell us before reading on.

## The idea

One more terrace on the hill. Glass on the valley side only.

## Targets

### The building in four numbers

Targets we would design to and report against at every phase. The carbon figure covers structure, envelope and finishes.

### Gross internal area

**760 m²**

### kgCO2e per m², upfront

**285**

### Cellar, held passively

**14°C**

### Energy from site solar

**72%**

## Four moves

### Four design moves

Our starting position, tested on the site model before this proposal. Each one will be challenged in Programa Base.

### Cut, do not perch

*Schist terrace wall cut into the vineyard slope*

### One glazed slot

*Glazed slot framing the valley from the tasting room*

### A cellar that needs no plant

*Barrel cellar under a concrete vault*

### Low-carbon concrete, exposed

*Board-marked concrete meeting an oak floor*

## Selected work

### Adega Cova Funda, Pinhão

*Adega Cova Funda winery in the Douro terraces*

### Casa do Socalco, Lamego

*Casa do Socalco on its hillside plinth*

### Pavilhão Ribeira, Porto

*Pavilhão Ribeira on the river quay*

## Approach

### Five phases, one team

Inês Saldanha leads design throughout. Rui Mira runs licensing and site. Both are at every client review. Nine people in the studio, founded 2016.

### 1. Programa Base, four weeks

Site survey by drone and laser scan. Brief, area schedule and carbon budget agreed in writing.

### 2. Estudo Prévio, seven weeks

Two massing options in the federated model. You walk both in VR at the quinta before choosing.

### 3. Licenciamento, six weeks

Licensing drawings and specialist reports to the Câmara. Then the statutory wait, which we do not control.

### 4. Projeto de Execução, fifteen weeks

Full technical design, coordinated with structure and MEP in one model. Tender documents issued from it.

### 5. Assistência Técnica, on site

Weekly site visits during construction, monthly cost and carbon reports, handover with a digital twin.

## Clients

### From the people who hired us

> They found a spring line in the laser scan that the geotechnical report had missed. Moving the cellar four metres saved us a drainage contract and about two months.

— Teresa Vilaverde, Managing Director, Adega Cova Funda

> We walked the house in VR on site, in the rain, before a single drawing was final. We changed the stair twice that afternoon. It cost nothing because nothing was built yet.

— Duarte and Mafalda Cunha, Clients, Casa do Socalco

> Nine days to assemble a pavilion on a working quay. They planned the crane slots around our tour boats, and we did not cancel a single booking.

— Helena Brás, Visitor Director, Cais Velho Port House

## Fee

In euros, excluding IVA. 11.5 percent of a €2.86m construction budget, split by phase. If the budget moves by more than 5 percent, the fee is recalculated in writing.

## Terms

### Assumptions and exclusions

The parts that decide whether the fee and the dates hold.

### What the fee does not include

Licensing fees to the Câmara, geotechnical investigation, the structural, MEP and acoustic engineers, and the fire safety specialist. Each is appointed by you directly.

We will brief them, coordinate them in the model and review their fees before you sign.

### Licensing risk

The site sits inside the Douro wine region landscape area, so the Câmara will consult the regional authority. We have taken four buildings through that process. We cannot promise consent, and nobody honestly can.

### Revisions

Two rounds of revision per phase are included. A change to the brief after Estudo Prévio is signed off is a variation, priced before we start it.

### Payment

Invoiced monthly against progress in each phase. Thirty days from invoice. Assistência Técnica is invoiced in equal monthly amounts across the build.

### Appointment

Under the Ordem dos Arquitectos standard service contract, with professional indemnity cover of €2m per claim.

### Optional services, outside the percentage

A whole-life carbon assessment to EN 15978, at Estudo Prévio and again at handover: €8,960.

Landscape design for the terraces with our partner Tomás Leitão: €14,380. Both can be added at any point before Licenciamento.

## Approval
