Manser Medal joins Sunday Times awards to offer architects prize fund for one-off homes
The Manser Medal, thought to be the UK’s most coveted award for one-off house design, has joined forces with the Sunday Times British Homes Awards to offer recognition to architects for outstanding design of homes with a prize fund of £5000. First presented in 2001 to inspire
innovation in house design and create exemplars to be taken up by the wider house-building industry, The Manser Medal was named in honour of Michael Manser CBE, RA, PPRIBA. The new joint award will enhance the possi- bility of media coverage for the winning architect and their practice. The Sunday Times British Homes Awards are claimed by its organisers to
have been “pivotal in providing a catalyst for change in the creation of our new homes.” The awards, and in particular the annual design competition, inspire architects and designers to join enlight- ened homebuilders and developers to “challenge conventional practice to shape great places to live, with a real sense of character and identity.” Jonathan Manser, managing director
of The Manser Practice commented: “My father is honoured that a Medal was introduced in his name to recognise design excellence in one-off home design. Since Cezary Bednarski’s inaugural win in 2001 subsequent winners have earned industry acclaim and public recognition and grown
their business. I am delighted with the plans to further build on this successful legacy with the Medal now enjoying an even bigger profile as an integral part of the highly respected British Homes Awards and with the added attraction of a prize fund for the winning architect.” The short-list for the 2016 Medal will
be selected from those designs highly commended this year within the three British Homes Awards categories for a One-Off House or Extension – up to 2,500 ft2
and above 5,000 ft2
11
, between 2,500 and 5,000 ft2 . The winning design
will be announced at the presentation of Sunday Times British Homes Awards in London in October.
