Design a new concept of small-scale architecture! MICROHOME 2021 is launched!

The annual Microhome architecture competition is part of the Bee Breeders Small Architecture Appreciation Movement, which hopes to highlight the fact that bigger isn’t always better. With great design and innovative thinking, small-scale architecture could change how this and the next generation view residential property.  

For the MICROHOME 2021 architecture competition, participants are invited to submit their designs for a micro home - an off-grid modular structure that would accommodate a hypothetical young professional couple (which will be used as an example family size throughout the competition series).

The only requirement is that the structure’s total floor area does not exceed 25m2, beyond that participants are encouraged to be as creative as possible. Participants are encouraged to rethink spatial organisation and incorporate unique aesthetics, new technologies and innovative materials that will make the micro home an entirely new form of architecture.
