CNN —From the “Walkie Talkie” skyscraper in London, to the Carrasco International Airport in Uruguay, New York-based firm Rafael Viñoly Architects’ portfolio consists of hundreds of projects spanning five continents. The latest addition, announced in January, will be a new international terminal at the Aeroporto Amerigo Vespucci in Florence, the capital of the Italian region of Tuscany. Rafael Viñoly Architects“In the summer, when you need to cool the interior of the space, you do heat exchange into that mass of earth,” he says. According to Viñoly, there are provisions in the design to produce a winery under the roof, though this is not confirmed. But he questions whether too much emphasis has been placed on the look of the vineyard, rather than its sustainable benefits.

Mr. Viñoly trained as a classical pianist in his native Uruguay before embarking on a successful career in architecture. The New York-based Rafael Viñoly Architects, founded four decades ago, is known around the world for its major commercial, residential and cultural structures, like the new Carrasco Airport in Montevideo, Uruguay, and 20 Fenchurch Street, nicknamed the “Walkie-Talkie” building, in London. Roman Viñoly says he is now ready to sell the co-op, situated between Duane and Thomas Streets, and has placed it on the market for $2.5 million. Mr. Viñoly says that both he and his father had fond memories of the downtown loft. “It’s a very small community,” he said of the four-unit building with a ground-floor commercial tenant, “and we all look after each other.”
