The MICROHOME Kingspan Edition 2025 is an exciting development in the evolution of the MICROHOME architecture competition. The eighth edition is hosted by Buildner in partnership with Kingspan, a collaboration that showcases a mutual vision and shared objectives. The competition invites participants to conceptualize an off-grid modular dwelling that would accommodate a hypothetical young professional couple. This scenario serves as the benchmark family size for the competition. The total floor area of the structure should not exceed 25 square metres, thereby encouraging participants to push their creativity and innovate within these parameters.
The MICROHOME Kingspan Edition 2025 challenges participants to radically rethink spatial organization, to introduce distinctive aesthetics, and to implement state-of-the-art technologies and materials. The end objective is to propel the micro home from a mere architectural form to a revolutionary genre in its own right.
Eligibility
