THE HOT SPOT competition grows through its partnership with Officine Tamborrino to redefine signature micro-hospitality
Experimentation and connection with nature guide THE HOT SPOT, the architecture contest conceived by Antrax IT to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The initiative takes a major step forward by welcoming Officine Tamborrino – Divisione Architetture as main partner, bringing together two leading brands in the exploration of contemporary living.
A lab of ideas for tomorrow’s tiny house
The competition challenges designers to create a 22 sq m tiny house aimed at the micro-hospitality of the future: an architectural structure immersed in the landscape, heated by Antrax IT solutions, and built using sustainable, prefabricated modules by Officine Tamborrino.
Designers are called upon to curate every detail:
- High-efficiency building envelopes and materials.
- Tailor-made optimization of interior spaces.
- Harmonious integration between indoors and outdoors.

From architecture masters to a travelling project
From the 65 proposals already submitted, the jury will select the 10 best concepts to compete alongside 10 exceptional special guests (including AMDL CIRCLE, Lissoni & Partners, Matteo Thun & Partners, Atelier(s) Alfonso Femia).
The winning concept will come to life in 2027: a travelling micro-architecture designed as a blueprint for sustainable hospitality and urban regeneration.
