The integration of expansive green parks within multifunctional urban skyscrapers creates a unique living environment that redefines community engagement while addressing urban density challenges.
5 key facts about this project
01
Integration of green parks throughout the building enhances recreational opportunities for residents.
02
Multifunctional spaces combine residential, commercial, and office uses within a single structure.
03
Design promotes an even distribution of inhabitants to reduce overcrowding.
04
Focus on communal living aligns with modern preferences for shared amenities.
05
Skyscraper functions as an interconnected node in an urban network of green spaces.

The design focuses on revitalizing urban skyscrapers to address issues of density and changing lifestyles in cities. Located in a metropolitan environment, the aim is to reshape the traditional skyscraper model by promoting mixed-use functionality. The goal is to turn these tall buildings from symbols of individual status into lively community spaces that improve urban living.

Architectural Concept

At the core of the design is a critical perspective on the current skyscraper approach, which often favors private ownership over public engagement. Many residential units in these buildings frequently go unsold or empty, leading to vast areas of unutilized space. By combining rental housing, owned apartments, commercial areas, and offices, the design supports a balanced environment that promotes interaction among residents.

Integration of Green Spaces

The project includes gardens and parks within the skyscraper's design, which greatly enhances its overall effectiveness. Green spaces serve more than just aesthetic purposes. They help tackle the shortage of greenery in cities and provide critical areas for recreation and relaxation. These parks are vital components of the plan, significantly improving the overall living experience and responding to the needs of urban residents.

Connection to Modern Lifestyles

The design responds to the preferences of the millennial generation, which tends to favor more flexible living arrangements and shared spaces. By offering communal amenities, the project creates opportunities for social interaction and a sense of belonging. This approach reflects a keen understanding of contemporary urban living dynamics, making the design relevant to today’s residents.

Network of Interconnected Buildings

Further, the vision extends to a network of connected skyscrapers, where green spaces become common features that enhance the overall urban landscape. This connectivity promotes community interaction while also supporting ecological balance in the city. By viewing skyscrapers as part of a larger urban ecosystem, the proposal outlines a practical solution for improving both social and environmental aspects of city living.

The resulting design emphasizes the relationship between living areas and their environment, creating a more inviting atmosphere. With thoughtful integration of greenery and communal spaces, the project offers a constructive response to the realities of modern urban life.

The Next House: USA — A Global Call to Reimagine the American Suburb

`
Competition organisers

Buildner is launching The Next House: USA, a global architecture competition that challenges architects, designers, and thinkers to reimagine the American suburban home for the 21st century. For decades, the suburban house has symbolized comfort and stability, but today it often reflects excess, isolation, and environmental strain. This competition asks: how can the American home evolve to address climate urgency, economic pressures, and shifting social values?

Participants are tasked with designing a prototype home of no more than 1,500 sq ft (≈140 m²) for a household of two adults and one child. The design should be compact yet generous, adaptable, sustainable, affordable, and replicable across diverse U.S. contexts. More than a design exercise, the competition aims to spark a conversation about how homes can support healthier, smarter, and more connected communities.

The total prize fund is $20,000 USD. The final registration deadline is May 20, 2026, and winners will be announced on September 22, 2026. The Next House: USA invites architects, students, and visionaries worldwide to redefine what the American home means today—and what it should mean tomorrow.
