Modern life has become overwhelming—soaring property prices, constant stress, and the chaos of city living leave us yearning for peace. Imagine escaping it all, retreating to the middle of nowhere to design and build your dream home—a sanctuary where nature and creativity meet. This competition invites designers, architects, and visionaries from around the world to create unique, sustainable, and inspiring dream home designs for a serene, off-the-grid location. Whether it’s a simple woodland cabin, a sleek eco-haven, or a futuristic desert retreat, we want to see your vision for redefining tranquil living in harmony with nature. Design Criteria Location Setting: Place your dream home in a remote, natural setting of your choice—forest, desert, lakefront, mountains, or open plains—anywhere far from urban noise. Sustainability: Prioritize eco-friendly materials like reclaimed wood, bamboo, or recycled components. Include energy-efficient systems (e.g., solar panels, water harvesting, composting systems) to achieve self-sufficiency. Functionality: Designs must fulfill basic living needs—spaces like sleeping, cooking, and bathing areas. Bonus: Include creative spaces like a meditation nook, artist’s studio, or outdoor deck for star-gazing. Innovation & Personality: Present an imaginative design that balances functionality with aesthetics. Consider limited resources and how simplicity can unlock beauty and creativity. Design Visuals: Rendered images showcasing key views (exterior, interior, and surroundings). Floor plans, elevations, and sections. Optional: Hand-drawn sketches or concept illustrations. 3D Model Files: Upload files in .obj, .fbx, .3ds, or .stl format.
