Judging Criteria
The Houzee Awards utilizes a rigorous and detailed judging process that is overseen by the Grand Jury. While every aspect of each project is evaluated, the scores are based on three primary criteria: Innovation & Originality, Design & Esthetic look, and Functionality & Spatial integration, with each criterion scored from 0 to 100.
After the evaluations are complete, the ten projects with the highest number of judges' points are recognized as the Platinum Award winners, regardless of category. The remaining participants are distributed according to their scores in their respective categories, with the highest-scoring projects receiving the Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards. This thorough and objective judging process ensures that only the most outstanding and innovative designs are recognized, and that each participant has a fair opportunity to be recognized for their exceptional work.
