The 50 Best Houses of 2019 (So Far) - Featured Image

Designing a home will always be the true challenge for an architect. With these projects, the architect needs to fulfill the user's wishes, while simultaneously reinvent new ways of living the day-to-day. Therefore, it is no surprise that residential works are the most popular project category on ArchDaily.  

We've recently passed the halfway point of 2019, and already, we've published more than 1,000 houses, offering projects with a variety of scales, contexts, and typologies. An immense diversity of possibilities that showcase the creativity of architects and serve as a great source of inspiration for those seeking references for their own residential project.

In the list below, you'll find the houses that arouse the most interest in our audience. Check out the 50 most popular homes of 2019 (so far).

Studio Precht Designs Truncated Tiny-Home Treehouses for Baumbau

Design practice Studio Precht has created a series of truncated timber treehouses for eco-building start-up Baumbau. The concept was created by Chris Precht and his wife Fei Tang Precht as a family of modular houses that are shaped by playfulness. Called Bert, the project was conceptualized as a treehouse shaped by the forest itself. Bert invites people to experience architecture and nature through the eyes of children.

Mies van der Rohe's McCormick House Transformed by Color Installation

The Elmhurst Art Museum has unveiled details of a new installation taking place in the Mies van der Rohe-designed McCormick House in Chicago. Designed by Luftwerk, a Chicago-based artistic collaborative of Petra Bachmaier and Sean Gallero, the “Parallel Perspectives” installation is a site-specific exhibition that uses color and light interventions to activate and interpret the house, celebrating the use of geometry in the mid-Century prefab prototype.
