The Rice University Design Alliance and the American Institute of Architects, Houston Chapter have a timely idea: challenge designers and architects to design an energy efficient and sustainable small house for under $99,000. Even better still, the house must take into account the hot and humid Houston weather and will be donated to a low-income family. This challenge, known as The 99K House Competition, received 182 entries from around the country. Considering the negative press we've gotten recently about our recycling habits, Houstonist feels slightly vindicated that this idea arose from our own community. Oh yeah, and plans for the winning design include replication throughout the Gulf Coast region. Take that, New York Times!
