Buildner launched a new architecture competition, called Tili Wine Italy Guest Homes Competition.

The Tili Wine Italy Guest Homes Competition is a collaboration with Tili Vini Italy, a boutique winery that produces a range of high-quality organic wines. All the wine produced in the winery is done so using organic and sustainable methods, without using any chemicals and investing in new technology that reduces the amount of CO²produced.

Imagine sipping organic wine while watching the sunset over the mountains of the green Umbrian valley! This is the experience that Buildner and the Tili Vini winery are looking to create with the Tili Wine Italy Guest Homes competition.

Participants are tasked with creating a collection of five guest homes to be located on the property of Tili Vini Italy, a boutique winery that produces a range of high-quality organic wines and oils. The guest homes would need to be able to accommodate up to five couples at a time, promoting and encouraging visitors to take part in the wine tasting experiences available at the vineyard.

The winery is already carbon negative, incorporating organic practices with the latest environmentally sound technology, from recycled bottles to solar electricity. As Tili Vini Italy are planning construction of the selected design concepts, projects should be considerate of the owners’ heritage and business philosophy, incorporating a love of wine-making and a harmony with nature in their designs.

The main purpose of these guest homes is to promote and encourage visitors to take part in the wine tasting experiences available at the vineyard, with a comfortable living space as well as a small wellness area. 

Submitted designs should have a strong focus on sustainability and be environmentally conscious at all stages, from construction through to the day-to-day operation of the guest homes. 

The Tili Wine Italy Guest Homes competition is open until November 1, with winners of the 10,000 € prize fund to be announced on February 14, 2023.
