Some stunning homes feature in the Australian Institute of Architects Awards national awards shortlist released today, including an incredible open glasshouse.

The 60-project shortlist includes public, commercial and residential buildings. The residential category this year includes an irregular metal polygon huddled in the tundra and a house that looks like it’s been taken straight from a Dali painting.

The award winners will be announced in November in Sydney. Below are InDaily’s favourite houses from the shortlist.
