THE WILDER THE BETTER

Airbnb is searching for the world’s wildest home ideas – and has launched a $1 million fund to make them a reality.The Unique Airbnb Fund is designed to find and finance the most unconventional and unusual liveable spaces on the planet. Ten recipients of the Unique Airbnb Fund will be selected by an expert panel of design and style innovators, including award-winning actor Billy Porter, and cuttingedge architecture firm MVRDV. Design enthusiasts can submit their proposals at airbnb.com/uniquefund. All submissions will be scored against criteria based on creativity, feasibility, sustainability and social good. Searches for unexpected and unique spaces – such as shepherd huts, windmills and tiny houses – increased by nearly 70% compared to last year, and some of the most booked listings include domes, treehouses, and yurts. Entries are open until 15th April 2020. The ten winners will be selected by 15th May.
