Contest: Tiny House

What Do We Inspire Ourselves With?

Yes, we do a lot of research, look at references, create compositions, sketch out plans, conduct interviews, but having that creative energy flowing and actively making things sometimes requires a change of scenery—stepping outside our comfort zone to see what happens!

Contests are a wonderful exercise, and every time we've decided to participate, it has been with the mindset of practicing our skills and self-evaluating, in order to improve our processes and gain that different experience! We have participated in competitions at various levels, and for us, they are an opportunity to learn and measure ourselves against our peers, challenge our creative capacity, find ways to communicate our ideas, and improve our time management.

What we enjoy the most are brainstorming sessions, where everyone contributes and we reach a consensus to define a generating concept that kickstarts the project. Deliveries are always what they are—days full of work, a bit of stress, and plenty of group jokes, where we usually laugh a lot. ;)
