We are delighted to present the results of the Minimal Dwelling 2024 design competition—an inspiring journey into the heart of minimalist architecture. Now in its second edition, this competition has once again drawn the attention of visionary architects and designers from around the world, all united by a common goal: to reimagine the essence of living through simplicity.
In a world increasingly saturated with complexity, the Minimal Dwelling competition invites a return to clarity—asking participants to design with restraint, intention, and elegance. The challenge was clear yet profound: to create a minimalistic home for a family of three, one that nurtures daily life through thoughtful spatial planning, efficient use of resources, and a harmonious relationship with nature.
This year's submissions demonstrated an extraordinary level of creativity and discipline. Participants skillfully explored how pared-down spaces can still feel warm, personal, and livable. From ingenious layouts to subtle material palettes, the proposals reflected a deep understanding of how less can indeed be more—how architecture, when stripped to its essentials, can still speak volumes.
The selected winners and honorable mentions not only fulfilled the brief but elevated it. Their designs are quiet yet powerful statements about the future of residential architecture—one that values purpose over excess, and connection over clutter.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the winners and participants. Your work affirms the continuing relevance and richness of minimalist design, and we are proud to celebrate your vision through this platform.
Stay tuned for more opportunities to showcase your creativity with Archiol Competitions.
