Full shortlist revealed: 2015 National Architecture Awards
Winners announced for 2015 Sustainability Awards

Sixty buildings, including 17 new houses, have been announced as winners at the 2015 American Architecture Awards.

Now in its 21st year, the American Architecture Awards are awarded to the best new buildings designed and constructed by American architects in the U.S. and abroad, and by international architects for buildings designed and built in the United States.

They are organised by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies, and honour the best and latest contributions to innovative contemporary American architecture.

The 2015 edition featured everything from skyscrapers to landscape architecture projects and just about every building type in between.

Below are the 17 awarded house projects for 2015.
