Cologne Private Residence Award

Re-invent a semi-detached private residence in Cologne, Germany, very close to the Rhine river.
All it takes to participate is a few sketches and a brief description. This competition is open to everybody, not just architects and architectural students.
1st prize: 1000 $

The Challenge:
This bland, run-down semi-detached condominium building (exhibit 2-4) has retained none of its original charm from the 1930s: In order to convert it to a single family home, we need to start from scratch.
The new building needs to be somewhat contextual to its surrounding buildings and especially the adjacent building (see exhibit 5+6). This is a difficult task of balancing one"s creative urges with the realities of the neighborhood and German building code.

Requirements:
- Max. three full stories plus basement plus penthouse
- Max. area of 12,7 m x 10,8 in current position (see exhibit 1)
- Seamless transition to the adjacent gabled roof building (i.e., same floor height)
- Two carports will have to be integrated in the front part of the lot

Preferences:
- Residence should have three floors (excluding basement) and allow for some balcony and/or terrasse space (a roof garden around and on top of the penthouse would be great, too)
- Enable full views to the garden in the south and the Rhine valley to the east. Balance privacy and sunset views to the street-facing north-west side.
- Fresh, sleek, modern, and clean (not ornate), yet timeless design
- Contemporary, but not after the latest fashion - No "über-styling", i.e. designs that are not attractive to the eye five years down the road

Selection criteria (equal weight):
- Degree of innovation
- Fit with preferences
- Feasibility / Fit with requirements

How to participate:
The purpose of this award is to collect fresh ideas. Anything that visualizes your creative concept works: Rough sketches, Google Sketchup models, etc.
We are neither looking for detailed nor ready-to-build plans.

Timeline:
Please submit your draft by Friday, October 15th, 2010 on www.99designs.com
Winners will be announced by October 31st, 2010.
