The RIBAJ<\/a>\/Norbord Europe<\/a> competition, now part of West Fraser<\/a>, is designed to encourage architects to push the creative boundaries when considering the use of SterlingOSB\u00a0Zero<\/a><\/h2>\n

The SterlingOSB Zero\/RIBAJ competition, where the winners enjoy cash prizes, industry acknowledgement, and much coverage in media channels, has seen some incredibly innovative creations in its time; each year poses a different challenge that is designed to reflect real-life topics in the architectural world.<\/p>\n

The 2021 challenge, named “Off Grid 2030”, saw RIBAJ asking entrants to design a family home of no more than 200m\u00b2 GIA that adheres to the RIBA’s 2030 Climate Challenge<\/a> principles.<\/p>\n

2021 Winner:<\/h3>\n

Kevin\u00a0Sulca\u00a0–\u00a0Ventanilla\u00a0House<\/p>\n

Commended:<\/h3>\n

Rob Hilton (Hilton Barnfield Architects) –\u00a0Naturehaus<\/p>\n

Jason Scoot (Scoot Studio) –\u00a0LatticexLivexWork<\/p>\n

DarX\u00a0(Arper\u00a0and\u00a0Yegana\u00a0Dilek) – Self-Sufficient Zero<\/p>\n

Longlisted:<\/h3>\n

The Rain Catcher – Davide Roth<\/p>\n

Off Grid 2030 – Angus\u00a0Eitel, Isabella Hicks, Josh\u00a0Smith\u00a0and Olivia Laughlin<\/p>\n

The Matchbox Townhouse – Hon Yen Chong and Chen-Yong Tan<\/p>\n

Mitre House – Peter Dagger<\/p>\n

A “simple but tangible, robust proposal”<\/h3>\n

The 2021 winner is Kevin Sulca’s Ventanilla House \u2013 a modular solution to the unique challenges of living in Lima, Peru \u2013 only narrowly beating Rob Hilton of Hilton Barnfield<\/a> Architects’Naturehaus to the top spot.<\/p>\n

Sulca’s\u00a0design was praised for its compactness,\u00a0scalability\u00a0and polemical stance against the poor living conditions of\u00a0Ventanilla’s\u00a0inhabitants, given the district’s humidity, precarious housing and lack of green space.<\/p>\n

David Connacher, marketing manager of Norbord Europe<\/a>, praised the way that “it fits the brief in terms of different generations comfortably living in the same house”, while RIBA Journal’s deputy editor, Jan-Carlos Kucharek, described it as a “simple but tangible, robust proposal”.<\/p>\n

Its provision of housing to people across the social spectrum was commendable. “Different levels of society could live in these houses”, applauded judge Kristofer Adelaide, architectural director of KA-A<\/a>.<\/p>\n
