Foreword

The Tili Wine Italy Guest Homes competition was run in collaboration with Tili Vini Italy, a boutique winery located in the central Perugia region of Italy. Competition participants were asked to design a collection of five guest homes located on the winery’s property that could each accommodate a couple. Tili Vini produces a range of high-quality organic wines using sustainable methods, without using chemicals and focusing on new technology that reduces the amount of CO2 produced. The competition sought green, forward-thinking ideas for the unique site in line with the client’s ambitions.

The competition was launched as part of Buildner’s Small-Scale Architecture series, and in partnership with ARCHHIVE BOOKS publications, which is excited to announce the first issue of its bi-annual MICROHOME Magazine - a careful curation of innovative conceptual and built projects for more sustainable small-scale living.

Buildner collaborated with an international jury that included: Marshall Blecher, co-founder of MAST, a maritime architecture studio based in Copenhagen; Ivi Diamantopoulou, an architect, educator, and co-founder of New York-based New Affiliates, where she explores how architecture is shaped by, and shapes, local economies and dynamic systems through its practice and form; Nicole McIntosh, the co-founder of the Swiss-American design practice Architecture Office; Andreas Profanter, a partner at the Italian office noa* network of architecture; Lera Samovich, an architect at Fala Atelier in Porto; and Lara Sappa, co-founder of studio Officina82, based in Garessio, Italy, which focuses on microarchitecture, restoration, landscape design and exhibit design. Sappe is also founder of the StarsBOX®, an innovative accommodation solution created in the Ligurian Alps as a model for tourist sleeping facilities respectful of the environment and the natural landscape.

Buildner and its jury team thank each of the designers who took part in this competition.

I think architecture competitions are very importante to chalenge my day to day work and take me out of my comfort zone. The start of a new project is always very exciting and the competition format, where we only get feedback in the end, makes it even more thriling.
