The AR House Awards announces 2022 shortlist

The Architectural Review has named 15 residential projects to the shortlist for its 2022 AR House awards. Now in its 12th year, the awards program celebrates the art and craftsmanship that goes into designing private homes around the world. 

This year’s awards are being judged by ETH Zurich professor and Atelier Bow-Wow founder Momoyo Kaijima, KU Leuven Associate Professor Martino Tattara, and Taka Architects co-founder Alice Casey.

Per the Architectural Review, “Entries were considered by the judges, who were looking for innovative yet well-developed houses that rethink the home, raising questions rather than providing ready-made solutions. All wished to see the repurposing of existing buildings, and projects that sit lightly in the landscape. As an international jury, they wanted to see houses that were rooted in culture and place.”

The winner and commended projects will be announced in the first week of December. Explore this year's shortlisted projects below.
