Monte d'Oiro Wine Hotel competition is the second in a series of competitions set in Portugal and in collaboration with Quinta do Monte D’Oiro, a family wine project located in the Lisbon Wine Region. Quinta do Monte d’Oiro has been known for its idyllic wine-making conditions since the 17ᵗʰ century, with a privileged terroir resting on clay-limestone soils and with the influence of Atlantic winds. This unique combination has created wines with a great freshness, elegance, and balance for years. Quinta do Monte d’Oiro is a family wine project located in the Lisbon Wine Region of Portugal which has been known for its idyllic wine-making conditions since the 17ᵗʰ century. The family wine project is the dream of renowned gastronomist José Bento dos Santos, whose own rare wine collection includes some of the greatest wines in the world. Since the first harvest in 1997, Quinta do Monte d’Oiro wines have been consistently awarded with countless prizes and achievements in Portugal and around the globe. 7 The vineyard itself is 100% certified organic and all the operations aim at very low yield production, using the best French oak barrels for wine ageing. Quinta do Monte d’Oiro wines are present in several international markets, such as France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, USA, Canada, Brazil, Angola, China, and Taiwan. For the Monte d'Oiro Wine Hotel competition, participants are tasked with proposing designs for an extension to the current Quinta do Monte d’Oiro vineyard complex – a hotel that could accommodate visitors of the famous vineyard. The hotel should make full use of the vineyard’s beautiful views and landscape, and incorporate a range of supporting facilities to guarantee visitors have an unforgettable stay. At this stage, the participants should focus on defining a clear, coherent, and harmonised set of building volumetrics and how new structures would fit within the existing building ensemble and correspond with each other, as well as define the general architectural guidelines for the future development of the vineyard. The jury are looking for designs that have the potential to become an iconic landmark while still remaining sensitive to the natural surroundings. All buildings currently located within the defined competition site boundaries are beyond repair and will be demolished.
