You’ve waited patiently and here they are !
After a week and a half of visits and votes, it is time to present the results of the first Vanilla Contest!
Again I would like to thank all of the participants for this competition. Whether you were chosen for the final round or not, I hope you decide to participate again in future contests. This brand new contest was really successful and I already have many ideas for another one.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my wonderful members of the jury who have accompanied me for this contest, again ! :).
Votes
As a reminder, the final score for each house is obtained by the average weighted score of the public (60%) and the jury (40%). Scenario, alone, designates the winner of Scenario's Choice.
The results
Top 3
#3 - Jan
Audience average: 6.867 - Jury average: 7.625 - Final score: 7.17
Kaels:
"The place is charming.
The layout of the main room is clever. The reading room opening onto the mezzanine via the bookcases is top-notch.
A very pleasant visit!"
Yao:
"From the outside to the inside, everything about this house is very well thought out. It makes you want to live here!"
#2 - Aenhir
Audience average: 7.367 - Jury average: 7.25 - Final score: 7.32
Kaels:
"Telvido had a beautiful dream ;). The theater is well rendered, with the use of tents both indoors and outdoors. It's a very nice realization (the chubby cat is excellent)."
Khelsi:
"The layout is very clever and the end result is colorful, this theatre is well done."
Edward:
"An extraordinary theater, the first time I've seen one with real stands."
#1 - Kelham
Audience average: 7.3 - Jury average: 8.125 - Final score: 7.63
Edward:
"Haha, an address that doesn't look like much, but it's one to have in your notebook.
It's a lot of work to fit all that into such a small space."
Khelsi:
"From the outside to the inside, the immersion is complete! The whole house is very innovative and executed. I especially like the irrigation system. "
Kaels:
"It's a funny concept from the start, but in the end it's all very well done. A big bravo for the drying room with the fireplaces in the ceiling. Automatic watering, lighting and storage - it's all there!"
Yao:
"A complete and perfect home for making pipe-weed. Congratulations!"
I extend my congratulations to the winners of the first Vanilla Contest!
Scenario's Choice
Scenario decided to award this price to Kelham.
Scenario:
"Of them all, though, Kelham's pipeweed operation wins my pick! The exterior's overgrown appearance hid a well laid-out, cozy "studio apartment", that sneakily hid a surprise behind the curtains that was full of additional detail and creative use of assets to create a very functional looking space."
Scenario also added:
"It was great to see all of the contestants doing so much with so little! I also really appreciate how much greenery factored into many of the designs - with all of the options that are out there, its easy to forget how much a single well placed tree, bush or flower can add to a space. Both Gamdrong and Beryl did a great job of bringing the outside inside, and Nokuzidis created a very simple but intentional space."
