ACHAIA CLAUSS WINERY

Prothesis Office was commissioned to develop the architectural and engineering studies and supervise the restoration works of the historic industrial buildings and facilities of the Achaia Clauss winery. The project was distinguished by its balanced approach—respecting architectural heritage while addressing the need for modernization and functional reuse. The restoration plans and works spanned a period from 1994, with the final interventions completed in 2007.

The interventions included:

• Comprehensive surveying and documentation of buildings dating from 1870 to the late 20th century.
• Restoration works on stone masonry, timber roofs, and reinforcement of structural elements made of reinforced concrete.
• Technical revival and reactivation of selected spaces with cultural and touristic character.

Selected structures of the complex:

1. Tank complex (1960–1972): Total area of 4.549 m² and volume of 40.641 m³, including covered tanks and sheds.
2. Old winery (1870): Two-storey stone building with timber roof tiles, covering 350 m².
3. Machine workshop (1930): Small-scale brick building of 51 m².
4. Old barrel warehouses, distillery and auxiliary buildings: Restored for structural adequacy and unified architectural identity.
5. Danielis Wine Cellar (1881): Single-storey stone masonry building with a total volume of 1.267 m³.
6. Clock Tower (1881): Landmark stone tower of fortified character.
7. Amalieiοn (1880): Historic stone building with gable roof and distinct typology.
8. Carpentry, grape crushers, grape reception sheds: Industrial-use buildings adapted to contemporary needs.
9. Metal tank complexes (1974–1980): Large industrial units of reinforced concrete and metal structures, with total volume exceeding 130.000 m³.
10. Bottling unit, exhibition and conference center, biological treatment plant, entrance towers, and various support buildings.
11. Churches of Saint Thomas & Saint Anna, guard posts, aqueduct, warehouses and sheds: All carefully highlighted through mild, respectful interventions.

The overall project became a benchmark for the conservation and adaptive reuse of industrial heritage complexes in Patras and across Greece. Prothesis Office’s approach successfully blended the authenticity of the original constructions with the demands of contemporary use (touristic, cultural, and commercial) positioning Achaia Clauss as a vibrant model of industrial heritage in active dialogue with the present and the future.


ΟΙΝΟΠΟΙΕΙΟ ACHAIA CLAUSS

Στο γραφείο ανατέθηκε η σύνταξη Μελετών και η επίβλεψη των έργων αποκατάστασης των ιστορικών βιομηχανικών κτηρίων και εγκαταστάσεων του οινοποιείου Achaia Clauss. Το έργο διακρίθηκε για τον αρμονικό συνδυασμό σεβασμού στην αρχιτεκτονική κληρονομιά και την ανάγκη εκσυγχρονισμού και λειτουργικής επανάχρησης. Οι Μελέτες και οι εργασίες αποκατάστασης διήρκεσαν από το 1994, με τις τελευταίες παρεμβάσεις να ολοκληρώνονται το 2007.
Οι παρεμβάσεις περιλάμβαναν:
• Αναλυτική αποτύπωση και τεκμηρίωση κτηρίων που χρονολογούνται από το 1870 έως τα τέλη του 20ου αιώνα.
• Εργασίες αποκατάστασης σε λιθοδομές, ξύλινες στέγες και ενισχύσεις φερόντων οργανισμών από οπλισμένο σκυρόδεμα.
• Τεχνική αναβίωση και επαναλειτουργία επιλεγμένων χώρων με τουριστική και πολιτιστική αξία.
Κτήρια και Κατασκευές της εγκατάστασης:
1. Συγκρότημα δεξαμενών (1960–1972): Συνολικής επιφάνειας 4.549 m² και όγκου 40.641 m³, με σκεπασμένες δεξαμενές και υπόστεγα.
2. Παλαιό οινοποιείο (1870): Διώροφο λιθόκτιστο κτήριο 350 m² με ξύλινη κεραμοσκεπή.
3. Μηχανουργείο (1930): Κτήριο από οπτοπλινθοδομή, επιφάνειας 51 m².
4. Παλαιές αποθήκες βαρελιών, ποτοποιείο και βοηθητικά κτήρια: Με μελέτες στατικής αποκατάστασης και αισθητικής ενοποίησης.
5. Κάβα Δανιηλίδος (1881): Ισόγειο λιθόκτιστο κτήριο 1.267 m³.
6. Πύργος Ρολογιού (1881): Εμβληματικός λιθόκτιστος πύργος οχυρωματικού χαρακτήρα.
7. Αμαλιείον (1880): Κτήριο με δίρριχτη στέγη και χαρακτηριστική αρχιτεκτονική τυπολογία.
8. Ξυλουργείο, σταφυλοκοπτικά, υπόστεγα παραλαβής σταφυλιών: Εργοστασιακοί χώροι προσαρμοσμένοι σε σύγχρονες λειτουργικές ανάγκες.
9. Συγκροτήματα μεταλλικών δεξαμενών (1974–1980): Βιομηχανικές κατασκευές από σκυρόδεμα και μέταλλο, συνολικού όγκου άνω των 130.000 m³.
10. Εμφιαλωτήριο, συνεδριακό και εκθεσιακό κέντρο, βιολογικός καθαρισμός, πύργοι εισόδου και άλλα βοηθητικά κτήρια.
11. Εκκλησίες Αγίου Θωμά & Αγίας Άννας, φυλάκια, υδραγωγείο και άλλες υποδομές: Αναδείχθηκαν με ήπιες επεμβάσεις.

Το σύνολο του έργου αποτέλεσε σημείο αναφοράς για τη συντήρηση και επανάχρηση βιομηχανικών συγκροτημάτων με ιστορική σημασία στην Πάτρα, αλλά και γενικότερα στην Ελλάδα. Η προσέγγιση του γραφείου Prothesis συνδύασε την αυθεντικότητα των κατασκευών με τον σχεδιασμό σύγχρονων χρήσεων (τουριστικών, πολιτιστικών και εμπορικών) αναδεικνύοντας την Achaia Clauss ως ζωντανό παράδειγμα βιομηχανικού πολιτισμού σε διαρκή διάλογο με το παρόν και το μέλλον.
