In addition to recognising design excellence in specific
categories, The

opportunity for architectural practices to showcase their
design vision for tomorrow's lifestyle home.

with one of Britain’s most innovative house builders
and a recipient of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise,

The panel of Judges – again chaired by
celebrated Past President of RIBA, Michael Manser - selected
