Out of more than 4,130 entries from 82 countries submitted to this year’s Dezeen Awards, BREATHABLE WALLS by Serhii Makhno and his studio was eventually shortlisted as one of 59 design projects that will compete for the top prize in the final competition. The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony in November.

The Dezeen Awards is an annual awards program that recognizes the world’s best projects in architecture, interior design, design, and sustainability. Launched by Dezeen, the world’s most influential architecture and design website, this year’s awards are in their seventh year and have already become a benchmark for international design excellence, the highest honor for architects and designers around the world.

BREATHABLE WALLS are eco-panels made of live unfired clay with natural additives and fillers: flax, barley, sesame, linden, nettle, lemon balm, musk, coffee grounds and wood shavings. Due to their unique composition, the panels have protective, recreational and supportive properties and effects on the human body. This innovation, inspired by centuries of experience, has a significant impact on the microclimate of the space, and thus on the quality of life.
