C2C Home Design and Construction Competition Winners

Some of the world's top leaders in design, housing and sustainable
development were in Roanoke, Virginia on January 13 and 14 to review the
entries from the C2C Home Competition. The C2C Home Competition
received more than 625 design submissions, with thousands of participants
from 41 countries worldwide.

William McDonough, co-author of the ground-breaking book Cradle to Cradle:
Remaking the Way We Make Things, described the C2C competition design
challenge this way "Our goal is clear: a delightfully diverse, safe, healthy and
just world, with clean water, air, soil and power - economically, equitably,
ecologically and elegantly enjoyed." The homes were designed in response
to this challenge.

Virginia Tech student Sean Wheeler won one of two first-place prizes in the international C2C Home design competition Thursday. Held at the Art Museum of Western Virginia, the competition was created for people to submit designs of practical yet environmentally sensitive houses.

Judges picked Wheeler's design from more than 600 submissions in the student and unlicensed professional division. Wheeler said he was "ecstatic" over his achievement.

"I'm speechless," he said. "It feels great. There was always hope [of winning], but I wasn't expecting it at all."
