# Fallow Rise, options | Marrable Oake Architects, Hobart

## Concept options

### Three ways to build Fallow Rise

*Long low timber building among vineyard rows*

*Mass timber tasting room facing the vines*

*Vineyard rows over a dry hill at dusk*

*Card model of a low building on a vineyard slope*

*Concrete meeting charred timber at a shadow gap*

*Marrable Oake Architects mark*

## The brief

### What you asked us for

*The brief*

A cellar door and barrel hall on the top block, open by harvest 2029, for no more than A$6.4m to build.

You told us the wine already sells itself in Hobart. The building has to do something else: bring people out to the Coal River Valley and keep them for two hours rather than twenty minutes.

You also asked for room for 340 barrels that holds 14 degrees without a plant room the size of the tasting room. If we have any of this wrong, tell us before you read further.

## The idea

Each route slows people down in a different way. Only one does it within your budget and before the 2029 harvest.

## Three routes

### Route 1: The Long Wall

*Long low timber building following a hillside contour*

### Route 2: The Cut

*Pavilion cantilevered from a concrete base in a vineyard hill*

### Route 3: The Pair

*Two timber pavilions across a gravel courtyard*

## Against the brief

### How each route answers the brief

Four things you asked for, and where the routes differ. None of them fails outright. The differences are in what each one costs you.

### Keeping people for two hours

*Timber colonnade looking over vineyard rows*

### Barrels at 14 degrees

*Oak barrels in a concrete hall set into a hill*

### Harvest trucks and visitors apart

*Gravel service yard behind a low timber building*

### Room to grow

*End of a timber frame building on a hillside*

## The numbers

### The numbers side by side

Construction cost from our quantity surveyor, 4 June 2027. Carbon from the federated model. Programme runs from a 5 July start to opening.

## After you choose

### What happens after you choose

The sequence is the same whichever route you pick. A late decision moves every date below by the same number of days.

### 1. You choose, Friday 25 June

Take route 1, 2 or 3. A change to a route is fine now and costs little. The same change after schematic design costs real money.

### 2. Schematic design, from Monday 5 July

We develop the chosen route in the model, with the structural engineer and services engineer working in it from the first week.

### 3. Council meeting, Tuesday 17 August

A pre-lodgement meeting about visitor numbers, access and the top road. We expect questions on traffic, and we'd go with an answer ready.

### 4. DA lodged, Friday 1 October

The statutory assessment period in Tasmania is 42 days, and requests for more information stop that clock. We don't promise consent, and the programme carries a margin for it.

## Your decision

### We recommend The Long Wall

It is the only route under A$6.4m and under the carbon target, with a month in hand before harvest 2029. You give up the sheltered court of route 3. If you prefer route 2 or 3, call Imelda before 25 June and we will reissue this page for it.
