Bureau de Change Architects: Folds, London A beautiful example of a fresh approach to delivering the standard ‘London home extension’ brief, the architecture showed a sophisticated use of natural light, careful attention to views out and an assured and accomplished approach to spatial reinvention and the use of materials and detailing. The project delivered on calm and elegance whilst incorporating delightfully unique features.


Sandy Rendel Architects: 142 South Street, Lewes The bold and simple palette of materials used to make and clad this house is strikingly successful when viewed across the meadows and river to the South. The Corten steel screening to the upper façade also works as a tactile screen to the ventilation openings when viewed from inside the bedrooms at first floor. The simple layout of the house delivers a magnificent living and entertaining area downstairs with open views framed by the textural rough shuttered concrete columns – turning its back on the main road on the approach side, the house succeeds through its ambition and singular vision on an awkward site.


Coppin Dockray Architects: Ansty Plum House, Ansty This largely forgotten Mid Century modern gem from the Arup/Dowson stable was had been changed and extended subsequently most significantly by another modernist Peter Smithson. Now it has been lovingly restored, brought into the 21st Century and made into home which is also a historical jewel recoding the history of the evolving design. A rational, pragmatic and thoughtful approach to the project has been demonstrated by the architects who clearly also have a real empathy with and passion for the original design.
