About ReWined

---

ReWined Barrel Creations has a new home!!  Six years in the making, this studio has wine barrel accents throughout and is intended to showcase wine barrel products AND a low impact green building technique known as light clay construction.  The frame structure with off-set studs is infilled with a fibre coated with clay.  We used a combination of straw and Scotch Broom fibre for the infill that is tamped down between forms- similar to concrete work but without the huge carbon footprint that concrete produces.  

This is an innovative use of the invasive Scotch Broom plant that is a growing problem on our Island environment and could lead to other beneficial re-use products.   The infill is plastered with a mixture of clay, straw, water and sand that was hand sculpted to create what you see today.

Topped off with a living roof, the 300 square foot studio is nested amongst towering cedar and fir trees.
