Tili Vini Italy is a boutique winery located in the Umbrian valley near Assisi, focusing on the production of organic wines and a commitment to sustainable practices. The design of the TILI 23 project emphasizes its connection to the surrounding landscape. It uses a color palette that reflects the earthy tones of the area, allowing the structure to blend with its environment. The overall concept aims to create a place that serves both the winery's needs and the experience of its visitors.

Design Concept

The main building serves several vital functions. It includes a reception area, a room for wine tasting, dining spaces, a kitchen, a back office, and areas for staff. This layout is designed to foster interactions among guests while efficiently managing winery operations. The direct connection between the main building and the outdoor areas encourages visitors to engage with both the winery and its grounds.

Guest Home Organization

Five guest homes are located near the main structure, organized along a pathway that leads to a natural swimming pool. Each home offers privacy and direct access to communal spaces. The design of these homes incorporates essential features such as an entrance, ensuite bedroom, living area, and kitchenette. This modular layout is intended to accommodate small groups, making it functional and efficient.

Sustainability Measures

Sustainability is a core principle of the project. Cross Laminated Timber is used as the primary construction material. This choice reduces waste and speeds up assembly because it is prefabricated. Additionally, materials from existing structures are repurposed, supporting a circular economy and minimizing ecological impact.

Environmental Strategies

The design includes systems for rainwater and greywater recycling, which help conserve water. This practice addresses the growing need for responsible water management in architecture. Furthermore, solar panels are incorporated into the design to use renewable energy, further enhancing the project’s commitment to sustainability.

Outdoor gathering spaces invite guests to enjoy views of the landscape. These areas are carefully integrated into the overall design, encouraging communal activities while appreciating the natural beauty of the surrounding environment.
