AR House 21 - House Hamburgö Highly Commended

Launched in 2010, the AR House awards recognizes 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 crystallization of new ideas. Looking for projects built in the last five years, AR House recognizes 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.

The winner of AR House 21 El Garaje by Nomos Arquitetectos, is joined by two Highly Commended projects; House Hamburgö in Bohuslän, Sweden by Manthey Kula and House in Kanazava by Shota Nakanishi Architects.
