The first competition and exhibition event Hiše ("Houses") Awards by Zavod Big and Hiše Magazine was presented at the Big Architecture Festival in 2009 with two awards bestowed in two private housing categories: the Hiše Award for Innovative Excellence and the Hiše Award for Sustainable Excellence. The exhibition and the accompanying special edition of the magazine, dedicated exclusively to the exhibited projects, assemble and recognise a selection of the most compelling residential houses from all over the world. The Hiše Awards honour the architecture that best answers the requirements of contemporary design, development, and living.
