Six homes shortlisted for RIBA House of the Year 2023 award
RIBA has announced its shortlist for the House of the Year 2023 competition, highlighting six transformative residential projects that are equally unique and responsive to the building and design industry’s need for change. Judges for this year’s contest included Dido Milne, Director of CSK Architects; Bev Dockray, co-founder of Coppin Dockray Architects; Jessam Al-Jawad, Director and co-founder of multi-disciplinary architecture studio Al-Jawad Pike; and Albert Hill of The Modern House and Inigo."This year’s RIBA House of the Year shortlist includes a range of exciting new typologies, including a rethink of the family terraced house and a model for collective rural living," jury Chair Milne said in a statement. "Here we have everything; from homes inserted into tight urban sites and new life breathed into existing structures, to detached rural homes where the architect has been given free rein to reimagine the baronial hall or lakeside retreat. Localism is a recurring theme, with architects engaging with the local vernacular without being slaves to tradition, and local sourcing of materials targeting both embodied and operational carbon to deliver genuinely sustainable design.""The most notable aspect this year, however, is the power of ‘collaboration’ to deliver great buildings. The fundamental importance of the client and architect relationship is evident in all the shortlisted projects which demonstrate how an architect can bring a client's dreams to life," Milne continued.A winner will be announced on November 30.
