Bee Breeders has announced the winners of its first annual Modular Home Design Challenge. The contestants had a fairly open-ended prompt to submit designs to the twelve-member jury panel which included modular design luminaries like Ben van Berkel and Chris Precht. 

The competition makes up part of Bee Breeders’ Small Architecture Appreciation and Affordable Housing programs. This modular design challenge was also launched in tandem with the Modular Architecture Essay Competition. Winners from both events will be included in an upcoming book on the topic published in partnership with ARCHHIVE BOOKS. 

Scroll down to see a list of this year's winners.

Jury comment: “The proposal demonstrated a good understanding of environmental design, and a pragmatic approach to re-thinking the status quo. The introduction of a patio is laudable – the clear organization around it makes the proposal very rich in terms of space and distribution. The project meets, with very well-argued proposals, sustainable development, an easy installation, and responsible use of materials. [...] Its use of the thin-line drawing style and visuals shows a peaceful and balanced design and a fitting representation of it.”

2nd Prize Winner & BB Student Award: Re-Imagining Makoko: Modular Floating Home by Syracuse University students Jessica Michelle Rithika Anand, Tiffany Chen, Angelina Yihan Zhang

Jury comment: "The project presents a balance between the costs and the needs of the inhabitants. It is practical while keeping the flexibility and creativity expressed within the architectural modularity. It shows understanding of modularity through a variety of lenses. Formally less sophisticated than other choices, but the functional concept behind the organization of the modules is simple and rational, its flexibility responding effectively to the needs of each user. Clever, ecological, humane, appropriate.”
