Located on a scenic drive along Tasmania’s East Coast, the Devil’s Corner Cellar Door and Lookout sits within one of Tasmania’s largest vineyards, with a panoramic view over the Freycinet Peninsula.
This commercial shipping container complex operates as a Cellar Door and Lookout for Brown Brothers winery. The complex was originally designed as a loose collection of timber clad buildings, that when combined form a modern interpretation of traditional farm / rural settlement.
The Cellar Door & Food market’s layout creates a courtyard space which allows shelter from the surrounding environment, while also allowing views through the tasting space to the Hazard Mountain Range in the distance
Through the careful placement of a series of timber clad shipping containers, visitors are invited to visually explore the landscape and around the vineyard through curated framed views.
A total of 10 shipping containers were used – 5 in the lookout and 5 in the market area. The integral strength of the shipping containers made them a perfect choice in the construction of the lookout in particular, enabling the structure of the building to be delivered to site and erected quickly.
