Olive Guest House

Buildner is happy to announce the results of its Portugal Olive Guest House International Competition!

The competition was run in partnership with the Verde family, landowners in Portugal that produce homemade olive oil using traditional methods. The brief tasked participants with presenting designs for a guest house to be realized on the Verde family property. The guest house is to be centered around a multipurpose space that would mainly function as an olive oil tasting room. Buldner collaborated with a stellar regional and international jury comprised of: Ondřej Chybík is co-founder of the studio CHYBIK + KRISTOF, based in Prague, Brno and Bratislava; Marta Frazão and Inês Vicente are partners at Atelier Data, a Lisbon-based office; Francisco Garcia de Freitas is a founder of Lisbon-based Atelier RUA - Arquitectos;  Ricardo Gomes, partner of KWY.studio, was born in Portugal and studied architecture in Lisbon; Vitório Leite is a co-founder of merooficina, a Porto-based office; Tiago Mota Saraiva is the managing partner of ateliermob, based in Lisbon; Maria Papafigou is an architect and a founding partner of the Stockholm- and Athens-based office OOAK - One of a Kind Architects.

Buildner and its jury panel thank each of the participating teams for submitting outstanding work.

We sincerely thank our jury panel

Buildner Sustainability Award

Project name

O Quintal

Architecture competitions serve as a powerful tool to enhance the creative process. I also believe that they provide a virtual journey to different places, allowing us to immerse ourselves in their customs, aromas, landscapes, and diverse architectures. This experience serves as a prelude to the project and enriches the design exploration.

Competitions offer me opportunities to refine my skills and can also serve as potential career-enhancing prospects. Occasionally, competitions present unique and captivating programs that I have yet to encounter, like the Olive Guest House competition. Prior to participating in this competition, I had no knowledge of the existence of olive tasting rooms. This discovery fueled my motivation to explore fresh ideas and broaden my horizons.
