Miratap Co., Ltd. (Location: Osaka City), which sells housing equipment online, will hold the "Miratap Design Award 2026." This award, now in its 11th year, is accepting submissions in two categories: the "Construction Examples Division" for photos and videos of construction cases using our products, and the "Product Design Division" for ideas related to housing equipment and building materials. This year, to further expand the range of spatial proposals using our products, we have newly established the "Non-Residential Award" in the Construction Examples Division. Additionally, for the Product Design Division, we are pleased to welcome product designer Yoshiki Matsuyama as a new judge. Applications will be accepted from July 1, 2026 (Wed.) on a special website. ■ Background of the Award The "Miratap Design Award" is an initiative to support architects and designers who share our spirit of challenge.
