These are the six projects that will vie for RIBA's House of the Year honors in December
The shortlist for this year’s Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) House of the Year award has been released in advance of the December 3rd winner’s announcement. Six projects from London and places as far away as Monmouthshire and Cornwall were selected from the broader pool of 2024 RIBA Award winners. Each is said to represent the best practice in approaching different design considerations irrespective of the setting and responsive to what the 2024 jury Chair Je Ahn said are the day’s most urgent domestic issues—intergenerational households, aging-in-place, and the rehabilitation of historic structures. Muyiwa Oki says: “These six homes show how we can deliver high-quality residential architecture with impact. Exemplars in sensitive restoration, climate-conscious design and ingenious urban placemaking – they each present a bold, creative solution to meet housing needs. Individually, they are truly remarkable, breathtaking pieces of architecture; together they offer scalable solutions to issues faced by our built environment – from reinventing existing buildings to working with complex and constrained sites. However, their true success lies in the health and wellbeing of those that live inside them: there can be no greater mark of achievement for an architect.”Eavesdrop by Tom Dowdall Architects (Sussex)Read the full post on Bustler
