Wine and Cheese in Architecture

I love when form and function are unified seamlessly in architecture and design, but it's also fun to see when concept and function are played with. I don't even mind the cheesiness, (and the wine was pretty good.)

Here, in the Santa Clara Valley, at Kirigin Cellars the doorway to the wine tasting room is a large oaky barrel.

Wooden Stair Pattern

More Phillips Collection architectural elements: I like the contrast of the dark wood molding with the light wood floor. 

And I love this circle pattern!

Duncan Phillips Georgian Revival House

The Phillips Art Collection is housed in the home of the founder in the Dupont Circle area of D.C. There are definitely some rich architectural details around the house in addition to the artwork.
