Entry guidelines

As the needs, expectations and possibilities of the home are shifting, designing a house enables architects to experiment with form and with materials but also to radically rethink the ways in which we live our everyday lives.

Enter your projects using our simple registration form. All projects must have been completed within the last five years. There are no budget or location restrictions.

Entry deadline: 5 July 2024 – £399 + VAT

What to enter

Beyond new and permanent residences for a single family, the following projects are also eligible: holiday homes, countryside retreats, mountain cabins, projects that combine a home with another programme (office, studio, gallery, etc), prototypes, experiments and university projects for living units, extensions and interior renovations, and existing buildings converted into homes. Homes for a group of people living together are also eligible as long as they remain small-scale and constitute a single ‘home’ for a particular community, e.g., Habitat for Orphan Girls, Doctors’ Housing.

Please remember that:

• Projects must be finished and inhabited, and it should be possible for someone to visit
• Projects must be less than 5 years old, so construction must have completed after 1 January 2019
• Large housing blocks are not eligible
