Design Your Dwelling Contest
What does it mean to feel at home in the modern world? You tell us. Dwell has partnered with Google to hold a residential design competition that empowers readers to interpret the modern home using the SketchUp software tool.
The Design Your Dwelling competition challenges aspiring architects and design enthusiasts to create a virtual model of their ideal home using a predetermined site location. (Hint: There’s an iconic bridge in the background!) Each entry must take into account climate, public access, and size constraints, among other issues.
Designs will be judged on basic principles such as sustainability, cost-efficiency, and interior and exterior design.
The grand prize winner will be flown to San Francisco for an awards lunch at the Dwell headquarters, an in-person tour of the design site, and an AIA / Dwell architecture home tour. In addition, a physical 3D model of his/her home will be created and displayed at Dwell, and then gifted to the winner. Airfare and accommodations will be provided by Dwell and Google SketchUp.
For full details please visit the Design Your Dwelling contest page. All entries must be in by August 31st at 11 p.m. PST.
