The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has revealed what its judges reckon to be the 10 best new American homes and housing complexes, for the organization's 2014 Housing Awards. Though not explicitly marketed as a list of green housing, almost all of the winners feature some degree of sustainable technology or design.
The awards are separated into four categories: One and Two Family Custom Housing, Multifamily Housing, Special Housing, and One and Two Family Production Housing though as no winners were chosen in the latter category this year, it is absent from this list.
Below, Gizmag highlights five standout examples, but head to the gallery to see each of the 10 homes and housing complexes in full.
The Informal House was designed by Koning Eizenberg Architecture for a family of four in South Pasadena, California. The brief called for the design to offer plenty of quality family space, both indoors and outdoors. Its unashamedly bright facade is both appealing and befits the home's name.
The home features green lower roofs which help insulate the interior, while the higher roof is colored white in a bid to minimize solar heat gain.
Informal House was recognized in the The One and Two Family Custom Residences category.
In a choice that highlights the wide scope of the awards (and one of the few examples without any overt sustainable design), the Sol Duc Cabin was designed by Olson Kundig Architects for a client who requested a compact, low-maintenance, and virtually indestructible house for himself and his wife while on fishing trips in the rural Olympic Peninsula, Washington.
The two-story dwelling comprises two levels, and is set on stilts to provide protection from wildlife and floods. Sol Duc Cabin also features tough shutters which can be closed to ensure protection from any storms.
It was recognized in the The One and Two Family Custom Residences category.
Park Passive House is, as we recently reported, Seattle's first residential property to achieve house Passive House Certification. The three-story home is located on an urban infill lot, and features all the usual hallmarks of a proper Passive House: near-airtight envelope, extremely efficient home appliances, and a bevy of energy efficient technology.

In their 32 years in Denver, architects Sarah and Rusty Brown have seen the potential in aging and sometimes abandoned structures, designing new life into old structures such as Denver's Ice House, Memorial Hall in Pueblo and the Highlands Ranch Mansion.
They and their firm, Semple Brown Design, have helped shape and transform parts of Denver from dilapidated warehouse districts into lively commercial and residential hubs of the city, including Larimer Square and Lower Downtown. Their work spans from arts venues to the two new contemporary wings that flank the historic Denver Union Station.
"What drives our designs and drives our projects are really studying what is going to be the most successful solution based on what is surrounding the project," Sarah Brown said.

Kevin Eronimous, president of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Colorado board of directors, said Semple Brown has an impeccable reputation.
"They're really well-known and respected," he said. "They have a very consistent quality of design."
The firm's largest recent project was the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, which demanded a completely new facility be built within the shell of the 1908 Municipal Auditorium.
The $92 million project took five years to complete. The ribbon was cut in September 2005 on the 2,268-seat auditorium configured to optimize unamplified music such as opera and folk and critically acclaimed sightlines for dance, opera and musical productions.
"That is just a phenomenal project," Eronimous said. "It's very well received in the arts community."
Last year, during the national AIA convention in Denver, Sarah Brown was named an AIA fellow, denoting a "particularly distinguished career," Eronimous said.

Mangalore, Apr 8: Under the aegis of Architects Guild, one of Indias most successful architects, Charles Correa, will be making a presentation in the city on April 10. The presentation is scheduled to begin at 4 pm that day at Screen 1, Big Cinemas, Bharath Mall in the city. Registration will begin at 3.30 pm.
This information was given at a press conference held in the city on Tuesday April 8 by Architects Guild.
The presentation by the celebrated architect will be followed by interaction with professionals and students of architecture. This event is being sponsored by Ultra Tech Cement Ltd.
Architect Correa is a renowned figure in the field of contemporary architecture around the world. With his extraordinary and inspiring designs, Correa has played a pivotal role in the creation of architecture in post-independence India. His works including carefully detailed memorial, Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Museum at the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad, to Kanchanjunga Apartment tower in Mumbai, Jawahar Kala Kendra in Jaipur, planning of Navi Mumbai, MITs Brain and Cognitive Sciences Centre in Boston, and most recently, the Champalimad Centre for the Unknown in Lisbon, lay special emphasis on prevailing resources, energy, and climate as major determinants in the ordering of space.
His first important project was Mahatma Gandhi Sangrahalaya (Mahatma Gandhi Memorial) at Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad (1958 1967). Over the last four decades, Correa has done pioneering work in urban issues and low cost shelter in the third world. He was conferred with Padma Shri in 1972, and second highest civilian honour, the Padma Vibhushan, in 2006, by the government of India. He also was awarded the 1984 Royal Gold Medal for architecture by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
The Architects Guild, Mangalore, has completed 12 years of service to the building design and technical profession in coastal Karnataka. The Guild serves as a platform to educate, create awareness, and foster growth in not only the field of design and structures but also in relationships as well. The Guild has regularly brought to the city valuable presentations by renowned architects from all over India and even from abroad. Past events organized by the guild include technical seminars, workshops, presentations by eminent architects, and building material expositions.
Architects Guild committee members, Venkatesh Pai, Guulshan Roy, Praveen Saldanha and Vinodh Aranha were present at the press conference.
