5 key facts about this project
The design at Quinta do Monte d'Oiro combines hospitality and the landscape of the vineyard in a thoughtful manner. Located on a small hill that overlooks the expansive grapevines, the plan enhances the historical context while accommodating modern needs. The approach focuses on creating a flow between existing buildings and new structures, ensuring that the area maintains its peaceful atmosphere.
Hotel Design
The hotel comprises 36 rooms, each designed to provide access to outdoor terraces that connect guests to the surrounding landscape. This arrangement allows for views over the vineyard, enhancing the experience of being in nature. The reception lobby welcomes visitors, creating an inviting space while preserving the charm of the older buildings on site.
Congress/Communication Centre
Next to the hotel is the Congress and Communication Centre, positioned to cater to both guests and the local community. It features an open-air terrace with a pool and spaces for entertainment, encouraging social interaction. This facility increases the functionality of the site while offering beautiful views of the vineyard.
Site Navigation
Careful attention has been given to the pathways that guide visitors through the area. These paths are designed for easy access and create an intuitive experience as guests move between the buildings. A corten steel-clad bridge links the Congress and Communication Centre to the hotel, adding an interesting design element while facilitating movement through the landscape.
Materials and Sustainability
Natural stone cladding has been selected to improve thermal performance and reduce heating and cooling costs. This choice supports the goal of maintaining a connection to the surrounding environment. Additionally, green roofs have been included, which contribute to better acoustics and provide more outdoor spaces for visitors to enjoy.
The design emphasizes thoughtful integration with the surrounding area, enhancing the experience for guests while respecting the cultural and natural heritage of Quinta do Monte d'Oiro.
