The 2nd NOT A HOTEL International Design Competition

For architects and creators under 40 – with the winning design to be realized and sold. The first edition received 620 entries from 2,463 participants. Building on its success, the second edition is now open. The next NOT A HOTEL will be designed by you.

The aim of this competition is to push the boundaries of conventional architectural practice by encouraging participants to rethink the very concept of "home." We seek designs that merge functionality with extraordinary creativity, fostering spaces that are at once livable, inspiring, and deeply connected to their surroundings.
Through this competition, NOT A HOTEL aspires to create residences that are more than mere living spaces. We invite designers to envision homes that embody innovation, sustainability, and timeless elegance, and to turn visionary concepts into reality.
