02
The design incorporates artist workshops that promote live-work arrangements.
03
Public amenities include a traditional sauna with panoramic views of equestrian fields.
04

05
A variety of exhibition rooms reflect local heritage and contemporary art.

The Omuli Museum of the Horse is located in Omuli and focuses on equestrian culture. It aims to serve as a space where art and community can come together. The design divides the museum into three stages, each with its own purpose, facilitating engagement among artists and visitors.

Functional Stages

The first stage includes artists' workshops that support creative activities. A kitchenette is part of this area, which will serve basic cooking needs initially but is designed to transition into a restaurant kitchen later. There is also adequate storage space and restrooms to enhance comfort and convenience for both artists and guests.

Expanded Accommodations

In the second stage, the design introduces living spaces for artists. This addition promotes collaboration by allowing artists to live and work in the same location. The surrounding landscape has also been considered carefully, providing an inviting connection between the museum and its natural setting, making the environment accessible and attractive.

Public Engagement and Amenities

The third stage brings in public features such as hotel rooms and a Glemping house, designed to provide a unique hospitality experience tied to the horse theme. There is also a restaurant and the main attraction, the Museum of the Horse, reinforcing the project's connection to local heritage. The horse stables serve as a visual anchor that encapsulates the project's essence.

Diverse Exhibition Spaces

The museum consists of various exhibition spaces that invite exploration and engagement. Rooms like The Observatorium, The Way, and the Main Exhibition Hall allow visitors to experience different themes and ideas presented through art. Historical rooms associated with the community, such as The Former Primary School and The Former Post Office, add depth to the narrative, enriching the visitor experience and connecting them to the area's history.

Careful design choices create spaces that encourage interaction and contemplation, culminating in the horse stables, which provide a direct visual link to the equestrian theme. This thoughtful layout underlines the project’s commitment to celebrating local culture and the arts.

The Buildner’s Unbuilt Award 2025: Celebrating Architectural Creativity and Visionary Unbuilt Designs with a Total Prize Fund of €100,000

`
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. Important deadlines: registration closes on October 30, 2025; submissions are due by November 20, 2025; winners will be announced on December 17, 2025.
