Facade Today is honoured to support and promote the Houzee Awards 2026, a program I’ve followed with real interest since its creation in 2023. I’m also personally delighted to join the Grand Jury this year. These awards shine a spotlight on residential projects that rethink how we live, from compact homes and interiors to larger housing concepts. For many studios, this is not only a competition, but also a moment to step back, curate their best work, and share it with an international audience.

Turning Your Best Projects into Global Visibility
The Houzee Awards 2026 follow a clear timeline, which makes planning submissions easier. There is still time to prepare your proposal, from selecting the right visuals to crafting a concise narrative. Think about your design intent and outcomes. The key point is simple. If you are proud of a residential project and feel it deserves a broader stage, this is the right moment to bring it forward.
Being nominated already brings visibility and recognition. Shortlisted projects gain exposure on a curated platform that is regularly visited by architects, designers, brands, and media. For many offices, this external recognition supports future competitions, client pitches, and press outreach. It also gives teams something tangible to celebrate and share.
For winners, the benefits go a step further. The award becomes a strong communication tool. It can be highlighted in portfolios, on websites, in social media announcements, and in conversations with prospective clients. This kind of recognition can help a practice stand out in a competitive market, and underline the quality of its work.
When Façades Make the Difference in Everyday Living
From a façade perspective, the Houzee Awards are particularly exciting. Residential projects often test façade ideas at a very human scale: daylight, comfort, privacy, material tactility, and the dialogue with the street or landscape. If your work explores these themes your projects will feel at home in this competition.
As a juror, I am looking forward to discovering how architects, designers, and studios interpret “home” today. How they handle constraints, regulations, and climate challenges. And how façades contribute to creating meaningful, durable living environments. If you recognise your work in this description, I would strongly encourage you to consider submitting.
There is still time to register and upload your material, so you can fine-tune your selection and give your projects the presentation they deserve. Submitting to an award takes always time and a bit of courage. But it can also open doors, spark conversations, and offer a fresh external view on your work.
Ready to stand out? Join the 2026 Houzee story with your favourite residential project.
