We love architecture at Haute Residence—beautiful traditional builds, incredible modern structures, and everything between. Never have we ever seen a building we’d want to eat though—until last week’s Great Architectural Bake Off came to New York.

Architectural heavy weights descended upon The Center for Architecture to battle it out with firms such as Dattner Architects, Davis Brody Bond, ZGF Architects, H3 Architects, Woods Bagot, Grade New York, Bespoke Careers, MADE, Hollwich Kushner and Wimberly Interiors all vying for the winning title.

Teams were supplied all needed instrucments and amterials for their incredible builds—and yielded designs that were absolutely eye catching to the point we wanted to bring them to our developers and ask about land for them!

Creations included the Guggenheim, McDonald’s, Pennovation, Bird’s Nest Stadium, 56 Leonard Street’s TriBeCa Tower and the upcoming Convention Center in Adelaide, Australia.

Davis Brody Bond took the cake with their rendition of The Smythsonian of African American History and Culture which was dedicated to J.Max Bond Jr, followed closely by Dattner Architect’s version of the World's Fair Sphere in Queen's.
