Launched in 2010, the AR House awards recognises originality and excellence in the design of dwellings. The house – a key rite of passage for architects – offers the potential for innovation and is critical to the ferment and crystallisation of new ideas. Looking for projects built in the last five years, AR House recognises creativity and originality, and ideas that push the type forward whatever the scale and construction cost. The judges’ chosen schemes will all be visited by an independent critic and photographer before a decision is made on the winner.

Past winners and finalists include Domat, David Chipperfield Architects, Matharoo Associates, AREA (Architecture Research Athens), Nomos, Brillhart Architecture, Manthey Kula, Kochi Architect’s Studio, dmvA Architects, Manuel Cervantes Estudio, Davidson Rafailidis, and many more.
