Terracotta ceramics define the interconnected structures of a winery designed to enhance community interaction, where tasting experiences are framed by a vibrant central garden amid the surrounding vineyards.
5 key facts about this project
01
Terracotta ceramics connect the three main structures, enhancing aesthetic unity.
02
A central garden fosters community interaction and provides a tranquil gathering space.
03
Tasting areas are strategically placed to maximize views of the surrounding vineyards.
04
The design optimizes the use of existing building elements to minimize waste.
05
Guest houses emphasize natural light and spaciousness for visitor comfort.

Tili Vini Winery is located in the heart of the countryside, designed to improve the wine tasting experience amid a landscape filled with vineyards and wild plants. The layout includes three main structures: a restaurant, guest houses, and a swimming pool. These parts are connected to encourage accessibility and foster a sense of community among visitors.



Architectural Concept
The design showcases a balance between the built environment and nature. A central garden acts as a gathering space for guests, promoting social interactions. This layout allows for significant visual connections between the winery's components and the surrounding landscape, enhancing the experience for all who visit.



Sustainability Strategies
Sustainability is an important aspect of the approach, following a "Reuse, Reduce, Recycle" philosophy. The design takes advantage of the existing plot and incorporates the primary building. This strategy makes efficient use of resources while reducing waste. By preserving the natural setting, the project reflects a commitment to ecological responsibility.



Material Choices
Terracotta ceramics feature prominently in the design, creating visual and tactile links throughout the winery. This choice supports sustainability goals and aligns with local building traditions. Using regional materials helps improve durability while allowing the structures to blend with the environment.



Guest House Design
The guest houses are strategically placed to connect occupants with the natural surroundings. Each unit benefits from plenty of natural light and spacious designs, offering comfort to visitors. This thoughtful arrangement enhances the connection between indoor spaces and the external environment, deepening the overall experience of staying at the winery.



An expansive central garden stands out as a focal point, providing a tranquil setting that encourages conversation among guests while highlighting the beauty of the nearby vineyards.

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.
