The metaverse house integrates physical and digital environments through a thoughtful design. At the heart of this concept is a two-centimeter projector cube, which acts as an access key to the online space. This device serves not only a practical function but also as an object that enhances the appearance of its surroundings. The design promotes user interaction, allowing for a blend of personal experience and connectivity between the two realms.

Access Mechanism

The projector cube enables users to see a hologram of their online house. It displays important information like in-game time and notifications. This feature enriches user engagement while emphasizing individual ownership in the virtual space. Furthermore, the cube can be set to respond only to a fingerprint, highlighting the need for security in a digital age.

Spatial Configuration

Users are greeted by a floating island when they enter the metaverse. This feature draws on familiar geographic shapes and enhances immersion in the user experience. On the ground floor, an open laboratory space features an interactive screen. Users can search for materials, examine three-dimensional holograms, and decide on potential purchases. The design includes a shelf that can be hidden, providing a tidy solution for organization while making the space adaptable.

Interactive Environment

On the first floor, the living room serves as a welcoming area for guests to log in. It offers views of the island's edge and allows hosts to customize the atmosphere through the interactive screen. They can choose options such as colored sea waves or sunset clouds. This flexibility enables users to create an environment that resonates with their preferences, enhancing their experience in the metaverse house.

User Accessibility

The design ensures ease of movement, with users able to reach the laboratory from the ground floor using either an elevator or external stairs. This attention to spatial flow reflects the project's commitment to functionality alongside exploration.

The metaverse house, marked by the projector cube, illustrates the relationship between physical and digital experiences. The combination of a floating island and customizable settings within the house contributes to an engaging environment. This design encourages active participation as users navigate and experience their surroundings in a new digital landscape.

Vancouver Tall Challenge: Building Higher Downtown

Competition organisers

The Vancouver Tall Challenge: Building Higher Downtown is an international architecture competition organized by Buildner in collaboration with the City of Vancouver and the University of British Columbia’s School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA). The competition invites architects, designers, planners, and creative thinkers to explore innovative approaches to tall buildings in Vancouver’s downtown core, focusing on sustainability, livability, urban density, public space, and the city’s strong connection to nature. As Vancouver continues to grow, participants are challenged to rethink how vertical development can enhance urban life and contribute to a more vibrant, inclusive, and resilient city identity.

The competition offers a total prize fund of $15,000 CAD, with winning proposals selected by an international jury of architects, planners, academics, and city-building professionals. Key dates include the final registration deadline on October 29, 2026, submission deadline on November 30, 2026, and winners announcement on January 26, 2027.
