01  First Place

Winner

Healing Bubblescape

Xuefeng Li

Simple material and form with bold cut of openings to invite light to become the main player in the space. The exterior rendering is very interesting. The light has different roles in this architecture.

Remarkable

A Palazzina in Edinburgh

A nice example of how multifamily housing centers design around natural lighting.

03  Third Place

Exceptional

Aabha

Yasha Daga & Devanshi Shah

The program is laid out nicely and the material choice is very suitable for creating beautiful sun rays. It would be better if the window openings can relate more to the patterns of brick than just punctured windows. And the roof opening pattern need more reasoning.
