Proud to see the Klein Goederust W**e Cellar & Tasting Facility recognised among the nominees for the Steel Awards 2026!
A wonderful collaboration and a project we are incredibly proud to be part of.
Designed with an elongated horizontal form that echoes the vineyard rows and mountain contours of the Franschhoek Valley, the new Klein Goederust W**e Cellar and Tasting Facility uses architecturally exposed, tree-like steel columns to support a deep shading canopy.
The R10-million development features 41.6 tons of structural steel to deliver long-span, column-free tasting spaces, a covered outdoor terrace, and an integrated production cellar behind a masonry façade.
By using slender steel profiles painted entirely in black, the structure recedes visually and foregrounds the glass and surrounding landscape.
Nominated for the Steel Awards 2026 by Arch on Main Architecture, with structural engineering by MPro Consulting Engineers and steelwork by LEMCO Group of Companies.
