AR House Awards Shortlist for 2020
The 15 shortlisted projects include houses from all over the world, from the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands, to Mexico, Japan, Australia and the US.
We are delighted to announce the 15-strong shortlist for the AR House awards 2020. The private house occupies a unique position in both the history of architecture and human imagination. Beyond its core function of shelter, it is an object of fantasy, a source of delight, a talisman and a testing ground.

Windward House
This year’s judging panel for the AR House Awards 2020 includes three previous AR House finalists:
- Anna Chavepayre, co-founder of Collectif Encore and highly commended last year for the Hamra studio in Sweden
- Lisa Shell, founder of Lisa Shell Architects, and commended in the AR House awards 2017 for Red Shank House in the UK, designed with sculptor Marcus Taylor
- Ard de Vries, founder of Ard de Vries Architecten, shortlisted for AR House 2017 for Country Seat Valkenberg in the Netherlands
Entries were considered by the judges, who were looking for ingenious and pioneering houses that seek to push the type forward:
Anna Chavepayre said: ‘A house is more or less alive – like a city. Problem-solving is creative’
Lisa Shell said: ‘We have been building houses for so long, we don’t need to reinvent. I enjoy looking at house plans because it tells us how people arrange their lives.’
Ard de Vries said: ‘I like when a house is specific. I always ask how the light comes in, and whether it is where different types of people can live.’
The winner and commended projects will be announced online at the end of November and published in the December 2020/January 2021 issue of The Architectural Review.
