IMB Asymetria’s new White House design receives an Honorable Mention!

05/08/2022

An architectural competition to design a brand-new residence of the President of the United States of America attracted designers from all over the globe. All of the projects awarded in the competition present a brave radically-new vision of this highly significant and symbolic location.

The startling new White House designed by Witold Gilewicz, Wiesław Michałek and the IMB Asymetria team is a simple block 'floating' above the rose gardens. The building preserves its most iconic attributes - the colour and the name, while also following the tradition of American architecture. The main conceptual and stylistic distinguishing features of the project are its materials, and their physical and chemical properties. A dedicated pearl-white opalescent outer structure was devised, allowing a one-way view, from inside to outside. All of the horizontal and vertical divisions have been removed, making the scale of the new White House visible in the context of the place - the city, the country, and the world.

IMB Asymetria’s White House International Design Competition entry received an Honorable Mention for Witold Gilewicz and Wieslaw Michalek and the IMB Asymetria team.
Congratulations!
