The Oak Moon Pavilion invites architects, designers, and students to envision an open-air yoga pavilion for Yoga Farm Italy, a retreat community nestled in the countryside of central Italy. Set within a newly acquired rural estate near Pescosolido, the competition challenges participants to design a moon-shaped timber pavilion beneath the canopy of a majestic historic oak tree. The proposal should create a place for yoga, meditation, and community while responding sensitively to the surrounding landscape and reflecting the retreat’s philosophy of simplicity, sustainability, and harmony with nature.
Rather than focusing on a large architectural development, the competition explores how a single, carefully crafted intervention can transform the experience of a place. Participants are encouraged to create a buildable and environmentally conscious proposal that integrates seamlessly with the existing landscape, celebrates the historic oak, and strengthens the identity of the new retreat property.
A total prize fund of €8,000 will be awarded, with winning proposals selected by an international jury of architects and industry professionals. Final registration closes on January 28, 2027, and the competition winners will be announced on April 20, 2027.
