The Oasis Tili Resort is designed for the Tili Vini family winery, located in the Umbra Valley. This area is known for its rich agricultural land and the backdrop of Monte Subasio. The resort serves as a venue for wine tasting and client engagement, effectively displaying the winery's products. The design concept combines the restoration of a historical agricultural building with a new circular structure, creating a central courtyard that serves as a social space.

Architecture and Site Integration

The design emphasizes a connection between the existing structure and the new additions. A belvedere provides elevated views, while a circular ramp facilitates movement through various spaces. Visitors can go from the underground wine cellar and pool area to dining spaces with views of the vineyards. This layout encourages interaction with both the architecture and the surrounding natural landscape.

Landscaping and Spatial Organization

Landscaping plays an important role in the project. Existing large pines will be preserved, and new trees will be added to provide shade in the central courtyard. The site is divided into three distinct areas: a parking area for deliveries, a green space with a vegetable garden near the kitchen, and a communal area with a circular bench around a newly planted pine tree. These features create intimate spaces that invite social interaction while maintaining visual connections to the nearby mountain.

Programmatic Experience

The design accommodates different visitor experiences. Guests can stop briefly to purchase products in the lobby or spend longer enjoying meals and exploring the facility. Overnight stays in the guest houses provide another level of engagement with the winery. This varies the type of interactions guests have with the winemaking process, enhancing their overall experience.

The main building will be restored using passive house principles, incorporating straw bale insulation and a timber structure finished with lime plaster. The new circular structure will rest on a concrete slab with a timber frame. A geothermal system is included for heating and cooling, and the wine cellar will primarily be underground, ensuring suitable conditions for storage. Rainwater and greywater systems will contribute to sustainability.

A notable design element is the circular ramp that connects different levels of the complex. This feature allows visitors to move through the various spaces, providing an engaging way to experience the winery and its natural surroundings.
