Past Competitions
6 closed editions, every brief, every result.
Inhabit V1
Design a speculative 2050 enclave that bans digital devices: 5–10 acres, India location. Architecture as a response to screen dependency.
Alchemy
Use artificial intelligence as a design tool to generate extraordinary architectural renders. Explore the boundary between human creativity and machine generation.
Sqratch Challenge 3: Inhabit
The competition that seeded Inhabit V1. Participants were asked to reimagine inhabitation at the edge of urban and rural: the brief that started it all.
Sqratch Photography Challenge 1
Capture minimalism in the built environment. Find the geometry, the silence, the reduction. A photography competition for architects with a camera.
Sqratch Challenge 2: Vacanza
Design a 50sqm holiday cottage for a resort on a 250m diameter island. Single-storey, 2 occupants. An exercise in restraint, escape, and tropical minimalism.
Sqratch Challenge 1
Design a micro house on a 6×6m plot for two. The first competition ever run by Micro Nation (the platform that became Sqratch). Compact living, Indian context, radical ingenuity.
