We want to examine the entire spectrum of current developments, which is why we are quite simply looking for the very best individual single-family houses of outstanding architectural quality. The prizes will be awarded to exemplary, intelligent and forward-looking concepts that show what huge scope for design this straightforward building assignment continues to offer – and demonstrate that it is still possible to come up with superb solutions that set new standards.
We are holding the HÄUSER AWARD 2011 in collaboration with the InformationsZentrum Beton and the Verband Privater Bauherren e.V. (VPB). Prize money of 15,000 euros is at stake. The results of the competition are scheduled for publication in HÄUSER in March 2011. The best projects will also be presented in a book to be published by Callwey Verlag at the same time.
