FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COMO, Italy, April 20, 2023 /DesignNewswire/ A' Design Award & Competition has confirmed the A' Design Award in the Architecture, Building and Structure Design category for The Wine Hub Residence and Restaurant by Nikki Ho Lk, designed for LOT Architects. The recognition forms part of the 2022 - 2023 A' Design Award & Competition and was determined through blind peer review by an international grand jury panel of established academics, design professionals and press members, who scored anonymized entries against predetermined criteria.

The A' Design Award Explained

The Iron A' Design Award is awarded to good designs that meet the rigorous professional and industrial standards set by the A' Design Awards. This recognition is reserved for works that demonstrate a solid understanding of design principles and show creativity within their execution. Recipients of the Iron A' Design Award are acknowledged for their practical innovations and contributions to their respective fields, providing solutions that improve quality of life and foster positive change. These designs are a testament to the skill and dedication of their creators, showcasing their ability to address real-world challenges through thoughtful design.

Regarding The Wine Hub Residence and Restaurant

The Wine Hub is a village building that combines a residence and a restaurant. The design aims to create a gathering place and to renew interaction among neighbours. Horizontal fins, inspired by traditional wine rack storage, shape the facade. The fins come in six different sizes, creating varied density that filters wind and sunlight and gives each interior function a different level of privacy. Glass panels on the ground floor can be opened, so the boundary between inside and outside is softened and the surrounding nature is brought into the interior.

Design Details

Unique Properties
The Wine Hub intents to inspire others for new possibilities of village living and create an iconic gathering place and re-establish interaction among neighbourhood. We envision to break through the boundary and restore the collective nature of villagers. The design creates an illegible glass boundary embracing the surroundings into the interior, allowing interaction for people from inside to outside
Inspiration
Inspired by traditional wine rack storage, horizontal fins are designed with a dancing rhythm creating different hierarchy spaces and different privacy according to the internal functions. Fins are in 6 different sizes allowing diverse density which plays with wind and sun. Whereas the glass panels on the ground floor can be opened up so as to blur the difference between inside and outside, and embrace outdoor nature to the interior.
