The “Hill of Arts” competition focuses on the transformation of an ancient villa in the hills surrounding Turin into a hotel where all forms of arts will come alive.
The challenge issued by the YAC – Young Architects Competitions platform and Urban Up Unipol asks designers to imagine a distinctive environment, extroverted and receptive, but at the same time introspective, by creating a retreat for artists who want to regenerate themselves through an immersive and conceptually new experience.
The project analysis must undoubtedly begin with the concept of art in the broadest possible sense, to then be able to design all those relevant spaces, environments and elements which will make the most of this Sabaudian Villa and its total transformation.
In the project the villa will be used as a hotel, a restaurant and an exhibitions gallery, while the entire surrounding area will be characterised by architectural elements positioned in different spots within the landscape. These will have special functions such as an art label space, a secret Garden, spaces for wellness and private studio cabins.
