As we arrive to the end of July, we are finishing up our second month of the Architect-US Portfolio Challenge, and it has been a rewarding experience to showcase the incredible work of our top-notch talent here at Architect-US

We have posted the work of 9 different artists during this month across all of our platforms, but in order to win the $30 Amazon Gift Card for this month, the talent’s work must have garnered the most likes on Instagram. So without further a do… the winner for the month of July is…. Yi Jun Aston !!!! Aston‘s submitted project, The Hive @ Sydney, Australia got 256 likes on Instagram over the month of July! Smashing our previous record of 106 likes last month!

Aston recently graduated from University of Hartford for their Masters in Architecture, and has been working at Marin Architects in New York City since 2018. Aston stated that «The entire architecture is structurally designed in a modular grid system to control the cost of built of every unit. With the characteristic of having a grid system, the housing are built vertically up with minimal land used and the units are extended horizontally on upper levels.» Aston created this project originally as a submission to the International Architecture Competition – Beebreeders.
