Columbia River Steel & Construction

Kestrel Vintner’s was seeking a face lift and expansion.  The scope of work included a new tasting room, increasing wine production and storage areas, and a new bottling line.  CRSC provided design building services for the new remodel of the existing tasting room and the new construction for the production and storage areas. The project was completed while keeping Kestrel Vintner’s open for business.  Extensive planning, flexibility and coordination with all involved allowed the owner to realize significant savings.

Gamache Vintners consists of two buildings; a 4,500 square foot wine production facility and a 3,472 square foot wine tasting center.  The wine production building is a pre-engineered metal building with a stucco exterior finish.  The wine tasting facility is a wood framed building that also has a stucco exterior finish.  Project coordination between the architect, owner and CRSC was key to the success of this design build project.  It was important to the owner to construct these buildings with the possiblity for future expansion as his business grows.

Airfield Estates is a pre-engineered metal building with non-standard primary framing to accommodate interior wood stud framing and wood siding finish.  One of the many special features of this project is the front vertical lifting wood hanger door.  Another feature is the tower at the back of the winery called the “Officers Club” which was built to resemble the traffic control tower at the airport. The interior of the tower features beautiful woodworking and a glass chandelier from Europe.

It was a privilege to construction this 5,564 square foot wood and stucco finished wine tasting facility. Several special features include stained and stamped concrete, large over-sized doors specifically constructed for this project, unique stamped metal roof system, and a bell tower. The barrel rooms ceiling was constructed to resemble a wine barrel as a unique building element.
