Apartment Building, Cemetery Road, Sheffield Cemetery Road is a 3600 sqm new build mixed-use scheme by
Architects Project Orange. This high density project consists of nine townhouses flanking a raised courtyard garden, all above a shared semi basement car park. Three commercial units at ground level with six apartments and a 180 sqm penthouse above are located within a four story block that fronts Cemetery Road. The internal arrangements of the two blocks of houses are configured to maximise privacy between neighbours with the principal habitable rooms of the easterly block facing the staircases and ancillary accommodation to the rear across the courtyard. Both house types are designed with dynamic cross sections and make a generous provision of balcony and roof terrace areas.
Innovation Award for Building Technology, Velux Carbonlight Home, Northampton Architects HTA have designed these new homes with zero carbon in mind, achieving good air tightness and thermal performance aimed at meeting the new Fabric Energy Efficiency Standard (FEES). Illustrating how residential dwellings might be designed and built in the UK by 2020. They are intended to offer an example of sustainable homes that are both appealing to the consumer while remaining affordable and easily replicable for the mass house building market and aim to deliver a 70% reduction in carbon emissions with the remaining 30% of carbon offset by allowable solutions.
Large House, The Welch House, Isle of Wight The award winning Welch House is a steel framed house designed by The Manser Practice Architects. The building envelope is made almost entirely of birch faced plywood. The external plywood rain screen is black stained and epoxy sealed, whereas internally the plywood walls ceilings and floors have been stained or left natural.
Development of the Year, Arundel Square, Islington This contemporary development completes a historic Islington square. The Victorian developer ran out of funds after only completing three sides and within the following years the North London Line was constructed in a cutting on the south side of the central gardens. Architects Pollard Thomas Edwards under took a radical proposal to deck over the railway, the ingenuity of this process enabled the delivery of this exceptional development and enabled the garden square to be extended by fifty per cent.
- Syte Architects with The Wrapped Terrace - ST + R with Back Up - Hess Kincaid Leach with Green 4 Life - Fraher Architects & O-Negative with The Memory House
Announcing the shortlist, RIBA President, Ruth Reed, said: “With the homes that each of us live in accounting for 27% of the carbon we emit, refurbishing the housing stock becomes a top priority. All of the architects shortlisted for this award have already demonstrated design flare in schemes that combine practical solutions and innovative ideas.”
