McPherson Cellars

Located in the Depot Entertainment District of Lubbock, this project represents

a fine example of the re-use of an abandoned warehouse through

creative site planning.  The outdoor courtyard is located where once

stood an old warehouse loading dock.  The new space is used for wine

tasting parties, is rented for receptions and outdoor concerts.

The design features a re-circulating fountain, stained concrete,

lounging rooms, decorative metal panels and rustic wooden overhead

trellises.  The inspiration for the design detailing comes from aerial

views of surrounding agricultural landscapes, playa lake formations and

the essence of bubbly.  Fronting onto Texas Avenue, the streetscape

design is intended to engage pedestrians through the use of unique jointing

patterns and tree planters that redirect the flow of foot traffic away from a

busy urban street. 

The court space is meant to be perceived as an oasis garden with

the sound of water at the center of the experience and the outer

streetscape reflects a more xeric desert theme.
