The design is set within a vineyard and focuses on enhancing the experience of wine tasting through thoughtful connections between landscape and architecture. The concept highlights the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing visitors to engage with the wine while also appreciating the surrounding natural environment.

Circulation and Experience

The journey for visitors begins as they enter the building and proceed to the upper floor, where the wine tasting takes place. The layout is intended to guide guests smoothly, creating a sequence of spaces that build excitement for the experience. Each area has been designed to enrich the sensory aspects of wine tasting, inviting guests to explore freely.

Visual and Spatial Integration

The interior features walls and ceilings decorated with wine bottles arranged in a way that emphasizes the beauty of the wine itself. These bottles serve as both decorative and functional lighting elements, contributing to a warm, inviting atmosphere. Large openings in the facade allow ample natural light to enter, creating a strong connection between the inside of the building and the vineyard outside.

Furniture and Interaction

The furniture throughout the space is designed to blend with the overall architectural vision, ensuring both functionality and comfort. Arranged to provide clear views of the vineyard, the seating areas encourage social interactions among visitors. This layout enhances the experience, offering comfortable spaces that are suitable for both conversations and quiet enjoyment of the surroundings.

Landscape and Outdoor Spaces

The building's design creates shaded outdoor areas that provide visitors with a peaceful place to relax and appreciate the natural surroundings. New pathways connect the wine tasting building with the greater winery landscape, allowing for easy movement throughout the site. This integration fosters a sense of unity between the architecture and nature, encouraging exploration of the area.

The careful arrangement of wine bottles, combined with open spaces and thoughtful landscape features, creates an atmosphere that encourages a rich sensory experience. Patrons are invited to engage not only with the wine, but also with the beauty of the vineyard itself.

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.
