VINE HILLS

Wine Hotel & Spa

„Architecture rooted in the land. Wine born of it.“

VINE HILLS is a boutique wine hotel designed as a natural extension of the landscape. Rather than dominating the landscape, the architecture unfolds along the slope in separate horizontal levels, partially buried in the ground and covered with green roofs. Stone, vegetation, and vineyards gradually blur the boundary between the building and the landscape.

The hotel’s volumes follow the natural topography, with each level offering its own connection to the landscape. The rooms open onto private courtyards and small pools, making the view and connection to the land part of the daily experience.

At the heart of the complex are the spaces dedicated to wine culture—a wine cellar, tasting rooms, and a restaurant. Nestled within the natural landscape, they create a more intimate and sensory atmosphere, where natural stone, vaulted spaces, wood, and subdued lighting foster a sense of belonging to the place.

Materiality

The palette of materials has been deliberately limited. Local stone forms the retaining walls and the main architectural surfaces; the light-colored stone continues into the flooring and the interior; wood adds warmth, while the large windows open the spaces up to the vineyards and the distant horizon.

VINE HILLS is not architecture set amidst nature. It is architecture that gradually becomes part of the landscape.
