Architizer — These Are the World’s Most Beautiful Modern Residences in 2020"
“The best homes are designed for everyday life. Countless housing projects are built around the world every year, across a wide range of scales, from small lofts and tiny homes to multi-unit residential towers. Reinterpreting local building conditions and vernacular forms, new residences reflect contemporary values as they are built for modern living.
The following projects were deemed the world’s best residences from the 2020 A+Awards, each winning either a Jury or Popular Choice Award, and sometimes both. Including projects of many scales, locations and construction statuses, these residences showcase some of the best architecture designed this year. . . .
MIRA is an urban residential development in the heart of San Francisco. Just blocks from the Bay Bridge, Embarcadero, and Rincon Park, the 400-foot-tall tower rethinks the classic bay window, a familiar feature of San Francisco’s early houses, reimagining it in a high-rise context.”
