Another recognition for DAWL. This time, with the Premju Emanuele Luigi Galizia 2026, the project has been selected as a Finalist in the Single Dwelling Design Award category.
At the heart of DAWL is an appreciation of the Maltese terraced house as a valuable and adaptable form of urban living. Rather than replacing the typology, the project asks how it can be rethought to better respond to contemporary life.
By inverting the conventional domestic arrangement, living spaces are brought together around a central courtyard, while the more private spaces occupy the cooler lower level. Light, air and movement become tools for shaping the experience of the home.
For us, DAWL is ultimately about finding new possibilities within something deeply familiar — extending the value of the terraced house rather than moving away from it.
