Dwell magazine has unveiled an enhanced project submission platform that allows architecture and design professionals to showcase their work to the publication's extensive audience while attracting new clients. The platform accepts submissions for new builds, renovations, real estate listings, vacation rentals, multifamily buildings, and various other residential projects.
The submission process requires users to provide a concise project name, avoiding story-type headlines or full street addresses for privacy protection. Location information needs to include at least a city, though the actual street address remains confidential. Dwell emphasizes that projects with detailed descriptions are more likely to be featured in their editorial content.
For visual content, the platform supports photos, architectural drawings, and floor plans with specific technical requirements. Images must be a minimum of 800 by 800 pixels and no larger than 10 MB, with support limited to .gif, .jpg, and .png file formats. Users can upload content through a drag-and-drop interface or browse their devices for file selection.
The platform offers several key benefits for design professionals and property owners. Each submitted project undergoes review by Dwell's editorial team for potential feature placement online or in the print magazine. The system also serves as a lead generation tool, particularly for vacation homes and real estate listings, while providing public links for easy community sharing.
Dwell's extensive content categories span from home tours and budget breakdowns to specialized sections covering prefab homes, tiny houses, and sustainable design. The magazine features work from renowned architects and covers various architectural styles including midcentury modern, industrial, farmhouse, and Scandinavian designs. Additional sections focus on specific home areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor spaces, and storage solutions.
The platform represents part of Dwell's broader mission to connect design professionals with homeowners while maintaining editorial standards that have established the magazine as a leading voice in contemporary residential architecture and interior design. Through this submission system, the publication continues to discover and showcase innovative projects that define modern living spaces across diverse architectural styles and price points.
