The selection of three prize winners of the third annual Home of Shadows international architecture ideas competition has been made by the six-member panel assembled by Buildner. For the competition, light was elevated to a primary design ‘language.’ Contestants were challenged to design a home for a hypothetical couple with artificial lighting allowed inside. Organizers say it “underscores the critical role natural light plays in home design, where it not only enhances comfort and practicality but also creates a welcoming atmosphere.” The proposals you’ll see prefer multiple devices and strategies to incorporate natural light into their architectural designs. You can compare them with the winners from 2024’s Home of Shadows #2 competition here.1st Prize + Buildner Student Award
