Sermiento, a project by Lemonot and Office ShopHouse was the winner of the 11th edition of the architecture festival in Logroño Concéntrico, which showcased the power of the ephemeral in public space.

The project repurposes over 1,200 bundles of sarmientos, pruned vine branches typically discarded by nearby wineries, into a large-scale installation that redefines Logroño's Plaza del Revellín. Arranged into a curved, natural yet geometric formation, the densely stacked sarmientos create an inhabitable wooden structure over 16 metres long and four metres high, featuring seating areas, a raised viewpoint and a communal table. The installation filters light and provides shade through its interlaced branches, while an oculus frames views of the surrounding historic façades. Evoking the square's past as a gathering place, the design transforms it into a contemporary stage for social interaction, culminating in a collective barbecue that closes the material and ritual cycle.
