The third-place submission focused on improving typical construction practices through practical, well-considered refinements.

The second-place submission stood out for its integration of innovation, local manufacturing, and constructability.

The first-place team developed an integrated envelope using an insulated concrete form system with continuous insulation to maintain strong thermal performance and control layers.

Their submission demonstrated technical depth, with well-resolved details addressing key challenges such as balconies and window interfaces. Overall, this was a comprehensive, highly buildable solution, making it a very worthy first-place winner.
