The Whatcom Housing Alliance has launched their Middle Housing Design Competition! This competition aims to start dialogue about the importance of diverse housing options, including duplexes, triplexes, and beyond.
Participants are challenged to reimagine the living spaces in our community and how Middle Housing can help address the housing shortage in the area. Participants will create constructible designs that blend affordability, sustainability, and innovation.
Participants can demonstrate their expertise in architectural creativity, sustainable design, and community integration. Funded by the National Association of Realtors and supported by local sponsors Julian & Company, and Hindman Construction, the contest allows participants to:
- Compete for the chance to earn cash prizes that acknowledge exceptional design prowess.
- Showcase designs on the Whatcom Housing Alliance website, garnering recognition and exposure within the design community and beyond.
- Be at the forefront of shaping modern living spaces and responding to the evolving needs of communities.
- Contribute to the creation of housing solutions that promote walkability, community connectivity, and access to essential services.
More information, including detailed submission guidelines, can be found HERE! All designers must indicate their intention to submit a proposal by registering by August 30th. All design proposals must be submitted by November 1st.
