Buildner is proud to announce The Next House: USA, an international architecture competition inviting architects and designers to reimagine the American suburban home. Once a global symbol of the “dream lifestyle,” the suburban house now faces challenges of affordability, sustainability, and relevance. This competition calls for innovative proposals for a replicable suburban home prototype—one that prioritizes adaptability, expandability, and sustainability while remaining feasible and cost-conscious.
With a total prize fund of $20,000 USD, Buildner will recognize outstanding projects that set new benchmarks for suburban living. Awards include a $10,000 First Prize, $5,000 Second Prize, $3,000 Third Prize, as well as a $1,000 Buildner Student Award and a $1,000 Buildner Sustainability Award. In addition, several honourable mentions will be selected and published internationally.
The final registration deadline is May 20, 2026, and competition winners will be announced on September 22, 2026. The Next House: USA offers architects, students, and visionaries worldwide an opportunity to redefine the future of the American home and inspire a new suburban dream—smaller, smarter, and better.
