4 Winners

This award honors outstanding completed residential projects that demonstrate excellence in architectural design and a masterful command of spatial quality.

The Core Philosophies

• Fluidity & The Interstice: Openings are no longer just visual tools; they are emotional tuners. We celebrate designs that seamlessly blend indoor tranquility with outdoor dynamism, honoring the joints where two worlds meet.
• Evanescence (The Art of Vanishing): When boundaries are pushed to their limits, they seemingly disappear. We seek architecture that plays with "presence" and "absence," prioritizing the experience of space and time over mere physical form.

What We Look For

We seek visionary projects that demonstrate:

• Architectural Articulation: A bold identity that challenges traditional boundaries.
• Spatial Poetics: Exceptional planning that embraces the "Art of Vanishing."
• The Art of the Interface: Smart integration of TOSTEM systems, balancing Eastern spatial wisdom with flawless contemporary engineering.
• Contextual Resonance: A continuous, sustainable dialogue with the local climate, community, and landscape.

Eligibility

• Project must be completed residential projects built between 2022 - 2026.
• Must integrated TOSTEM products.

Notes:

*TADA reserves the right to reassign projects to a more suitable category if necessary.
**As the competition's highest accolade, the Building of the Year Award is evaluated exclusively from the top winning projects of each participating nation.
