This morning we launched Public Voting for the Architizer A+ Awards Public Choice Winners, giving you—architects, designers, and fans—the chance to select your favorite buildings and spaces of the past three years! Now, we’re kicking off our “Finalists Spotlights,” which will feature the top five shortlisted projects from each of the 50+ categories eligible for voting.

We’re starting things off with one of the strongest A+ categories: Residential–Single Family Home. Each of these five houses make fantastic use of the typology’s hallmarks—namely, sculptural form, surprising spatial sequences, bold colors, and stunning locales (plus a pool or two). Every one of these houses combine all these ingredients to create small but potent architectural statements. Click through for a look at each! And remember to vote!
