5 key facts about this project
The design addresses the need for revitalization of a site with aging structures, proposing a complete demolition to allow for a new building. Located in an area characterized by mountains and vineyards, the design aims to reflect the owner's heritage and business focus on winemaking. The concept revolves around creating a space that aligns with the surrounding environment, enhancing the overall experience for those who visit.
Building Orientation
The proposed building faces south, maximizing natural light and offering expansive views of the landscape. This orientation not only benefits the interiors by allowing in sunlight but also connects the indoor spaces with the outdoors.
Spatial Arrangements
Tranquility is central to the design, especially in the bedrooms, designed as peaceful retreats within the landscape. These rooms are sheltered by a portico, adding a layer of privacy while still providing views of the natural surroundings. Large windows allow occupants to engage with the landscape, fostering a deeper connection to nature.
Central Features
At the heart of the design, a central pool encourages leisure and interaction. Pathways lined with greenery guide visitors to sitting areas, where they can enjoy wine outdoors. This arrangement promotes a sense of community, enhancing the overall experience of the setting.
Transition and Flow
The first floor incorporates roof terraces that serve as additional areas for wine tasting while providing elevated views. Patios connect different spaces within the design, inviting exploration and interaction with the surroundings. The entrance features a height variation, directing guests to the check-in area and creating a welcoming atmosphere.
A notable detail is the integration of climbing plants in the bathrooms, allowing guests to relax while enjoying views of the landscape. This design choice reinforces the connection between the building and its natural environment, enhancing the overall experience as the sun sets.
