• The only limitation as to the dimensions of the project is that the house must have a max construction area of 800m2 total. This surface may be distributed in any way, in several floors, on one level or in multiple volumes.

• As this is an academic competition, we are not searching for a profound technical and construction detailing. A good architectonic
conceptualization and original ideas will receive the greatest consideration. Opengap encourages contestants to experiment and to formally and spatially explore new solutions. Original, creative, contemporary, and risky proposals,
