5 key facts about this project
01
Suites are designed to blend seamlessly with the landscape while maximizing privacy and views.
02
The hotel includes a multifunctional enclosure for receptions, concerts, and weddings, promoting social interaction.
03
A variety of leisure amenities, including a kid's club and playgrounds, cater to families and enhance guest experience.
04

05
The extensive use of wood not only creates a warm aesthetic but also reinforces sustainability throughout the design.

The Monte D'Oiro Treehouse Hotel is located within a peaceful vineyard landscape, offering a unique escape for guests. The design aims to blend with the natural surroundings, providing 40 suites that promise a tranquil and immersive experience. By focusing on nature, the intention is to create a space where visitors feel connected to their environment.

Design Concept
-
Suites are arranged into two distinct zones. Zone 2 holds 21 suites, while Zone 4 contains 19. This configuration takes advantage of the natural slope of the land, which allows for privacy and beautiful views from each suite. The layout cleverly adapts to the landscape, enhancing the relationship between the hotel and its setting.

Social Spaces
-
An essential part of the design includes an open enclosure meant for receptions, concerts, and weddings. This multifunctional area encourages social interaction among guests and fosters a sense of community. With a balcony included, the space allows for better views and can accommodate larger gatherings, making it a central feature of the hotel.

Leisure Amenities
-
Zone 5 focuses on leisure and recreation, featuring outdoor swimming pools, a gazebo, playgrounds, and a kid's club. These amenities aim to provide a variety of activities for guests, promoting both relaxation and enjoyment. This thoughtful inclusion helps create an engaging environment that caters to guests of all ages.

Accessibility Features
-
Accessibility is an important consideration in the design. Each suite has balconies that offer shade from the sun, enhancing comfort. The hotel is equipped to support individuals with reduced mobility, including an elevator that connects key areas. This attention to detail allows for a more inclusive experience for all guests.

The design notably employs wood for the suites and restaurant, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. This choice supports the overall goal of connecting the building with its natural surroundings, encouraging guests to immerse themselves in the serene landscape.

Competition organisers

The Buildner’s Unbuilt Award 2025 is an international architecture competition dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the value of unrealized architectural designs. It invites architects, designers, and students worldwide to submit visionary projects that have not yet been constructed, highlighting the power of ideas and the creativity behind the design process. By focusing on unbuilt work, the competition aims to bring forward concepts that shape the future of architecture and push the boundaries of the profession. 

Participants can compete in three categories based on project scale: Small Wonders (up to 100 m²), Medium Marvels (101–999 m²), and Large Visions (over 1,000 m²). Each category winner will receive €20,000, and additional prizes include honorable mentions, student awards, and a special Best Presentation Award. Winning projects will gain significant international exposure through Buildner’s publicity campaign and a feature article on ArchDaily, providing a unique opportunity to showcase creative ideas to a global audience. 

The Buildner’s Unbuilt Award 2025 encourages entrants to submit any type of unbuilt project, from conceptual visions to detailed designs, celebrating bold innovation without the constraints of realization.
