Brief

The Nano Home 2024 competition invites you to design an off-grid modular home for a hypothetical young professional couple, chosen as the standard family size for this challenge. The home’s total floor area must not exceed 25 square meters, encouraging participants to unleash their creativity and think innovatively within this compact space.

This competition challenges you to:

  • Reimagine spatial organization to make the most of limited space.

  • Incorporate cutting-edge aesthetics, technologies, and materials.

  • Transform the micro-home from a small structure into a groundbreaking living concept.

There are no restrictions on where these designs can be located. Whether urban or rural, anywhere in the world can serve as the setting for your micro-home concept. Designs that prioritize sustainability and creatively address economic, social, and cultural challenges will stand out.

The Nano Home 2024 competition is your chance to shape the future of micro-living and redefine residential architecture.

Key Details:

  • Eligibility: Open to everyone; no professional qualifications required.

  • Teams: Work individually or in teams of up to 4 members.
