The Royal Institute of British Architects has unveiled the longlist for its annual RIBA House of the Year award. The 20 projects on the longlist will soon be reduced to a six-project-strong shortlist which will be visited by a specialist jury to decide the winner.
The award is given each year to the best new one-off house designed by an architect in the United Kingdom. The overall winner of the 2022 edition was The Red House by David Kohn Architects, a firm that also features on the 2023 longlist.
“At this critical point in time in terms of ‘climate break down,’ we were really looking to see how deep a dive the architects had taken into issues around environmental sustainability,” jury chair Dido Milne said about the longlist. “It was encouraging to see in both the prototype for modular social housing and some of the larger houses on the longlist how there was a much more holistic approach to what might constitute a truly sustainable house. What we are building with, the provenance of materials, and the impact on biodiversity are starting to really influence designs.”
