Gehry Partners

Gehry Partners designed a large hospitality complex for Hall wines in Napa California. It is a glass and steel structure with a solid bent wood trellis over top. Total area of the trellis is 36,000 sq ft which was designed to use Pure Timber's Extreme Wood Bending technology. Pure Timber was hired by Gehry Partners to produce prototypes during the building development process. Bending was done in solid white oak, 2 inches thick. The slide gallery below provides a story of this development and the work completed by Pure Timber. The project was put on hold before ground broke.
