MICROHOME 2021 – SMALL LIVING, HUGE IMPACT!

The third annual MICROHOME architecture competition is part of the Bee Breeders Small Scale Architecture Appreciation Movement, which hopes to spotlight the very fact that bigger isn’t always better. With great design and innovative thinking, small-scale architecture could change how this and therefore 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 might accommodate a hypothetical young professional couple (which are going to be used as an example of family size throughout the competition series). the sole requirement is that the structure’s total floor area doesn’t exceed 25 m2 ; 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 which will make the micro home a completely new sort of architecture.
