The winners of Hammer & Hand’s third annual perFORM Building Competition are seven architectural interns from the firm DIALOG in Vancouver, B.C. Runner-up was Masoud Sharikzadeh of the University of Arizona.

The challenge for the competition, which drew 20 entries, was to design a hypothetical project, a mixed-use multi-family structure with net zero energy in Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood next to the running track at Rainier Beach High and across the street from the Rainier Beach Community Center.

Now in its third year, the competition focuses on green building and was open to architectural students and architectural interns.

The goal, according to Hammer & Hand, is to help advance the energy performance training of emerging design professionals and 鈥渢o demonstrate that high performance building and high design can be inherently complementary.鈥�

Judges for the competition were Rob Pe帽a, associate professor in the Department of Architecture at the University of Washington; Mary Johnston, founding partner of Johnston Architects; Gladys Ly-Au Young, principal at Sundberg Kennedy Ly-Au Young Architects; Robert Hutchinson, owner and principal at Robert Hutchison Architecture; Rich Mohler, associate professor at the University of Washington Department of Architecture and principal at Mohler + Ghillino Architects; Dan Whitmore, building and energy analyst at Hammer & Hand; and Cory Hawbecker, senior associate and sustainability coordinator at Holst Architecture.

With the exception of Hawbecker, all the judges are located in Seattle. Sites for the competition alternate between Seattle and Portland each year. Hammer & Hand has offices in both cities.

Hawbecker said he was impressed with the quality.

鈥淚’m always blown away by how much effort goes into them,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t is a significant investment in time for either students or emerging professionals and Hammer & Hand has stringent rules for performance.鈥�

The DIALOG winning entry included architectural interns David Tran, Geoff Cox, Carolyn Cuthbert, Carly Kandrack, Esteban Matheus, Neal Philipsen and Ouri Scott. Their entry, called GrowHouse, features a four-story, C-shaped building surrounding a four-story greenhouse.

The building is designed to capture solar energy through solar panel arrays on the roof, maximization of passive solar gains to heating-dominated residential spaces and collection of solar energy through the greenhouse, according to Hammer & Hand. The greenhouse is designed to produce sustainable food sources. The building system has a ground-source heat pump network, allowing for offset of heating and cooling loads to reduce overall energy consumption.

Judges praised the design for addressing the surrounding community. The building includes a rooftop common area, community day care, a shared courtyard, event space, a local produce market and a community test kitchen.

The second-place award went to Sharikzadeh for his design of two elevated three-story buildings with a sunken garden between them. Both buildings feature apartments on the three upper stories over an open ground floor.

鈥淚t’s kind of like three-story buildings on stilts,鈥� Hawbecker said. 鈥淭he ground drops, sort of like a sunken courtyard, and you can see where the grade goes down into a swale sort of thing.鈥�

For winning the competition, the DIALOG group won $4,000; Shariksadeh received $2,000.

The two winning entries will be displayed at the Bullitt Center in Seattle.
