The hotel is set within a beautiful vineyard, combining the natural environment with a contemporary design that promotes a pleasant visitor experience. The overall concept focuses on sustainability and a connection to the landscape. Features like decorative vines on trellises are used for shading balconies, helping to lower reliance on mechanical cooling, while also drawing guests closer to the surrounding scenery.

General Design Elements

The building's facade is marked by red tiles on the roof and southern elevation. This choice reflects the local architectural style and creates a cohesive look that fits well with the surrounding area. The colors and textures used enhance the visual appeal without overpowering the landscape.

Shading and Energy Efficiency

Shading strategies are thoughtfully incorporated into the design to manage sunlight throughout the year. By following Passive House guidelines, the hotel emphasizes energy efficiency through excellent thermal insulation and effective ventilation methods. These features help maintain a comfortable indoor environment and reduce energy use.

Water Conservation Strategies

Water efficiency is a key focus in the design of the hotel. To reduce the need for potable water and limit wastewater generation, multiple sustainable measures are implemented. These include water-saving fixtures, systems for harvesting rainwater, and the recycling of graywater. Such choices demonstrate a commitment to responsible resource management.

Guest Experience and Accessibility

Rooms are designed to provide unobstructed views of the vineyard, allowing guests to fully appreciate the natural landscape. Each accommodation features private Jacuzzis and balconies for added comfort. Accessibility is a priority here as well, with convenient vertical circulation that includes elevators, ensuring smooth movement between different levels of the hotel.

Guests can soak in the quiet beauty of the surroundings while enjoying the well-thought-out details of their accommodations, where comfort meets the charm of the vineyard landscape.

The Next House: USA — A Global Call to Reimagine the American Suburb

`
Competition organisers

Buildner is launching The Next House: USA, a global architecture competition that challenges architects, designers, and thinkers to reimagine the American suburban home for the 21st century. For decades, the suburban house has symbolized comfort and stability, but today it often reflects excess, isolation, and environmental strain. This competition asks: how can the American home evolve to address climate urgency, economic pressures, and shifting social values?

Participants are tasked with designing a prototype home of no more than 1,500 sq ft (≈140 m²) for a household of two adults and one child. The design should be compact yet generous, adaptable, sustainable, affordable, and replicable across diverse U.S. contexts. More than a design exercise, the competition aims to spark a conversation about how homes can support healthier, smarter, and more connected communities.

The total prize fund is $20,000 USD. The final registration deadline is May 20, 2026, and winners will be announced on September 22, 2026. The Next House: USA invites architects, students, and visionaries worldwide to redefine what the American home means today—and what it should mean tomorrow.
