Antrax IT, a European leader in designer radiators and heating solutions, celebrates its 30th anniversary with The Hot Spot competition. The contest invites Italian and European architects to design a 22m2 tiny house immersed in nature. It challenges participants to explore architecture’s relationship with the landscape, sustainability, minimal living, and territorial enhancement. Starting in 2027, the winning design will take shape in Valle delle Fate, Venetian Prealps.
A house in harmony with nature
The competition seeks to create a small architectural masterpiece that seamlessly blends with its surroundings. Valle delle Fate, the chosen site, transitions between plains and mountains and boasts historical landmarks like the Tempio Canoviano and Rocca di Asolo. The tiny house will host two to four people and feature a fully equipped interior with a kitchen, services, and an outdoor deck. Architects will frame views, preserve centuries-old trees, and design a structure that harmonises with nature.
Participants can elevate the house or build it at ground level, with single or multi-level configurations. The competition prioritises optimising space, using sustainable materials, and integrating innovative heating solutions. Designs will prominently feature Antrax IT’s designer radiators and heating accessories.
Promoting architectural excellence and sustainability
The Hot Spot competition highlights high architectural values. It prioritises form, materials, and sustainability. Additionally, the project inspires and serves as a destination for design enthusiasts. It also revitalises territories, aligning with the principles of ‘Arcipelago Italia’, which advocates decentralisation and inland area enhancement.
Alberico Crosetta, CEO of Antrax IT, views the initiative as an opportunity to ‘create not just a product but a place’. He envisions the tiny house as a micro-building that adds value to the region. It also showcases the brand’s dedication to design innovation and sustainability.
