The World’s Oldest Vine House Renovation

2024
Arhisol

The World’s Oldest Vine is a space of art – the art of the life of a 400-year-old vine, the art of wine and our winemakers, the art of Maribor, the art of a free perspective on what a 400-year-old vine represents, and the art of well-being. The architects have given the framework for the Oldest Vine House to pursue its mission as a worldwide ambassador of the vine. Its centerpiece is a large table suspended over a mosaic, connecting and uniting the different ambiances/settings into an integral entity.
