The Monte d'Oiro Wine Hotel is set in a vineyard landscape, designed to blend nicely with its surroundings. It includes 41 guest rooms, 40 of which offer balconies with views of the vineyard. This arrangement enhances the experience for visitors, inviting them to connect with nature. The overall design focuses on a relationship between the building and its environment, encouraging guests to appreciate the beauty of the landscape.

Facade Design

The facade is inspired by the shape of a grape cluster, reflecting the local setting. From a distance, the shapes of the berries seem similar, but looking closer reveals unique details for each one. This aspect emphasizes diversity while maintaining a cohesive look. The design serves as a metaphor for the individual qualities found in the vineyard.



Balcony Configuration

The balconies provide another layer of interest in the design. When viewed head-on, they may appear uniform, but as one moves to the side, the variations in their structure become apparent. This thoughtful arrangement invites exploration and creates a connection between the building and the land.



Guest Experience

Guest experience is a central focus of the layout. The design encourages engagement with the vineyard setting by thoughtfully placing amenities that enrich the stay. Visitors are prompted to immerse themselves in the surrounding nature, deepening their connection to the landscape.



Attention to detail is evident throughout the design process. Each room has been positioned to maximize views of the vineyard, and the building's forms reflect the essence of the landscape.
