Dwell/SketchUp Contest
Here’s something for all you design enthusiasts out there who use Google’s SketchUp program to create 3-D images of your design work. Dwell has partnered with Google to hold “a residential design competition that empowers readers to interpret the modern home.” The Design Your Dwelling competition challenges you to create a virtual model of your ideal home on a predetermined site location. (Hint: There’s an iconic bridge in the background).
Design Hole Tip: Keep It Modern
Designs will be judged on basic principles such as sustainability, cost-efficiency, and interior and exterior design.
The award is pretty cool. The grand prize winner will be flown to San Francisco for an awards lunch at the Dwell headquarters, an in-person tour of the design site, and an AIA/Dwell architectural home tour. In addition, a physical 3D model of your prize-winning home will be created and displayed at Dwell, and then gifted to the winner.
For full details and to enter the competition, visit: Dwell here. All entries must be in by August 31st at 11 p.m. PST. Also, you can download SketchUp for free, but there’s a pro version, too. Good luck!
