The metaverse is upon us, and with it comes a new era of architecture. Digital environments offer architects unprecedented freedom, unbound by the constraints of the physical world. This competition challenges architects, designers, and creatives to envision the future of residential architecture within the metaverse, specifically designing a house optimized for display and functionality as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT).

• NFT Integration: How will the design leverage the unique properties of NFTs? Consider aspects like ownership, scarcity, provenance, and potential for community building.
• Metaverse Compatibility: The design should be conceptually adaptable to various metaverse platforms, considering factors like scalability, interoperability, and user experience.
• Sustainability: While existing in the digital realm, explore how sustainable design principles can be conceptually incorporated into the NFT House.
