The BuildReady Design Competition is the kickoff to the broader BuildReady Pre-Approved Plans program being developed by the City of Cincinnati using a $2 million PRO Housing grant awarded by HUD. This open-call competition is asking architects, designers, builders, developers, students, and anyone else interested in the program to provide new, innovative middle housing designs for two-, three-, and four-family buildings that are also:
1. Contextual: Respecting the context of Cincinnati's neighborhoods
2. Attainable: Offering practical designs that keep costs within reason
3. Scalable: Feasible for developers of all sizes to build efficiently
The purpose of the Design Competition:
The BuildReady Design Competition is a tool to broaden the understanding of possible middle housing in Cincinnati and advance creative and new approaches to their development such that residents are excited to see these homes in their neighborhood.
