Whether a project just broke ground or is still on the studio\u2019s server in its concept phase, these designs have found a place in our unbuilt award categories. This means the world\u2019s best architectural ideas can be appreciated while they are still on the drawing board.<\/p>\n

Enter the 10th Annual A+Awards<\/a><\/p>\n

The following projects are proposing pathbreaking residential designs that use new technologies, traditional methodologies, smart planning and sensitivity to the community to create homes that not only serve the inhabitants but also redefine urban lifestyles.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"Floating Gardens<\/strong><\/a> by Orange Architects<\/a>, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

\nPopular Choice, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Multi-Unit Housing (L >10 Floors)<\/p>\n

This reimagination of the Montreal Athletics Association (MAA) sports club aims to give the aging building a modern makeover. Apart from the renovation of the existing club, the proposal also adds a 32-storey structure above. The presence of the older building at the base ensures that pedestrians continue to see a familiar visual as they walk past it. The grid pattern on the glass tower helps differentiate it from the other glass towers around.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"Barclay Street Tower<\/strong><\/a> by ACDF Architecture<\/a>, Vancouver, Canada
\nFinalist, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Multi-Unit Housing (L >10 Floors)<\/p>\n

The 48-storey tower is covered with curved balconies that take inspiration from forms found in nature, making the structure feel dynamic and buoyant from the outside.

It also includes a market space, community garden, playground and an outdoor kitchen for the residents.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"Living The Noom<\/strong><\/a> by sanzpont [arquitectura]<\/a>, Canc\u00fan, Mexico
\nJury Winner & Popular Choice, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Multi-Unit Housing (S <10 Floors)<\/p>\n

Addressing the issues of emotional and physical illnesses, NOOM is a sanctuary that promotes a healthier lifestyle by focusing on: air, water, light, nourishment, movement, thermal comfort, sound, materials and community. The designers also ensure it is sustainable by keeping intact most of the existing vegetation, using natural light and ventilation, minimizing the amount of waste generated during construction and using local materials.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"WILLLI Social Housing im Dritten<\/strong><\/a> by NERMA LINSBERGER ZTGMBH<\/a>, Vienna, Austria

\nFinalist, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Multi-Unit Housing (S <10 Floors)<\/p>\n

This adaptable housing project targets the issue of homelessness in Los Angeles. Instead of a housing module, Nest is a kit of parts that can be put together in several ways to fit in different plots. The studio has devised various plan combinations that use these parts in different scales and qualities to create homes for different localities and family sizes.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"581 Grant Ave, Brooklyn NY<\/strong><\/a> by think! architecture and design pllc<\/a>, New York City, New York
\nFinalist, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Multi-Unit Housing (S <10 Floors)<\/p>\n

It also uses energy-efficient systems and renewable materials to make it more sustainable and surpass Enterprise Green Community standards.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"‘Couple Lean-Tos<\/strong><\/a> by PARA Project<\/a>, Stanfordville, New York
\nJury Winner, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Private House (L >3,000 sq ft)<\/p>\n

This project is a combination of an achievable space and a studio for a sculptor. The name of this concept is derived from the interdependence of the two spaces on one another. The two functions stand independently on their own and are connected by a curved wall that creates a private courtyard. Both spaces share a common design language, creating a very cohesive project.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"Villa No.1<\/strong><\/a> by Amirhossein Afzali Architects<\/a>, Abbas Abad, Iran
\nPopular Choice, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Private House (L >3,000 sq ft)<\/p>\n

The paint of connected villas was designed for two artists who wanted a space away from the busy city. The villas face opposite directions to provide privacy. Each villa contains a living area, bedroom, balcony and a studio for the occupants. The balcony, which is a recess in the roof, also acts as a private yard for each house.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"Villa Shali-Kar<\/strong><\/a> by KanLan [Kamran Heirati, Tallan Khosravizadeh]<\/a>, Mazandaran Province, Iran
\nFinalist, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Private House (L >3,000 sq ft)<\/p>\n

House of Many Houses<\/strong><\/a> by INNOCAD architecture<\/a>, Graz, Austria
\nFinalist, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Private House (L >3,000 sq ft)<\/p>\n

This family home is divided into different rooms that are staggered or piled based on the natural topography. This composition creates open spaces in the middle of these sub-houses that invite nature inside the structure. The central block at the bottom houses the common areas whereas the other three are bedrooms for the parents, children and guests. An infinity pool on one side acts as the fifth element of this arrangement.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"Casa Horizonte<\/strong><\/a> by de-spec inc<\/a>, Chamela, Mexico
\nFinalist, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Private House (L >3,000 sq ft)<\/p>\n

Located at the edge of the Pacific ocean, amid an untouched plot, this house is designed to show the best views from every single room \u2014 may it be of the ocean or that of the sunset. The lack of glass shades on the windows is to prevent the ocean glare from hitting the birds. Its roof is equipped with solar panels that power the entire house.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"The Salt Box Residence<\/strong><\/a> by Parnagian Architects<\/a>, Barnegat Bay, New Jersey
\nJury Winner, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Private House (S <3,000 sq ft)<\/p>\n

The narrow form of the house is governed by the limited site area. It is raised on stilts to save it from the floods. The sides of the house are paneled with weathered white cedar rain screens, giving it a well-aged and comforting appearance. The living, kitchen and dining areas have a double height with floor-to-ceiling windows giving it an open and airy feel.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"Reverent Villa<\/strong><\/a> by Hes.architects<\/a>
\nPopular Choice, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Private House (S <3,000 sq ft)<\/p>\n

The entire house is fragmented into different blocks that are staggered in height, along the slope of the site. The private, semi-private and common areas have been separated, creating a series of interactive spaces that are disconnected and yet work as a whole. The blocks are separated by green spaces to invite vegetation and natural light in all areas.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"The Verge House<\/strong><\/a> by s\u00f8asaa<\/a>, Nicosia, Cyprus
\nFinalist, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Private House (S <3,000 sq ft)<\/p>\n

This small family home is shaped like a C to create a double-height atrium that provides natural light to all the spaces within. This allows the home to be lit from within without compromising the privacy on the road-facing sides. The external elevation is covered in an aluminum mesh to create a peek-a-boo effect.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"House 6 \u00b0<\/strong><\/a> by Mado Samiou Architecture<\/a>, Athens, Greece
\nFinalist, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Private House (S <3,000 sq ft)<\/p>\n

As the name suggests, a part of the house is angled at 6\u00b0 to distinguish it from the flat terrain around and separate the private and common areas. Two ends of the rectangular tube have large openings and skylights that balance the heaviness of the structure. The private spaces are located in the lower sanctum whereas the common areas are housed in the white inclined block.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"Casa Odyssia<\/strong><\/a> by konstantinos stathopoulos | KRAK. architects<\/a>, Corfu, Greece
\nFinalist, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Private House (S <3,000 sq ft)<\/p>\n

Given that this concept home is located in what was once known as the mythical region of Phaeacians, the design reimages its user as the Greek hero Odysseus. Nestled within lush vegetation, this concrete structure emerges from the ground like a rock. The design is primarily based on the three axes and shaped around one central pillar. Concrete slabs and long blocks join together to create a volume that is open and airy.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"Greentown New Times Cover<\/strong><\/a> by line+<\/a>, Hangzhou Qianjiang, China
\nFinalist, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Multi-Unit Housing (L >10 Floors)<\/p>\n

Oriented towards the Qiantang River, the project offers both functionality and eye-catching aesthetics. The gilded fa\u00e7ade is derived from the waves of water and envelopes the building on all sides. Large panels of glass let users experience unhindered views on all sides of the building. The vertical components of the exoskeleton are aligned with its internal functions.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"Rural Apartment Building<\/a><\/strong> by NADAAA<\/a>
\nFinalist, 2021 A+Awards, Residential – Unbuilt – Multi-Unit Housing (S <10 Floors)<\/p>\n

The project is an experiment on how different housing typologies can fit within the same area boundaries. These typologies are based on needs, seasons and economical conditions. The fa\u00e7ade is made of cross-laminated timber to create optimal thermal conditions.<\/p>\n
