Video Leave a comment

RIBA Architecture (November 1, 2024): The Hall by TaylorHare Architects is shortlisted for RIBA’s House of the Year 2024.

Situated in the Kent Downs, this Grade II listed 16th century residence has been extensively and sympathetically refurbished into a sustainable home. Interiors have been both restored and modernised, with finely crafted detailing and considered new interventions that work in harmony so that the historical compliments the contemporary.

The house is an exemplar of green living, while simultaneously restoring the surrounding listed outbuildings and adding a pool, pool house, tennis court, stable block, and a new lake. The end result is a demonstration of how to extend the life of a historic building, while creating elegant living spaces for the future. Presented by the Royal Institute of British Architects, the House of the Year is a prestigious annual award for the best example of a one-off house designed by an architect in the UK, celebrating excellence and innovation in home design.

Dezeen Films (December 7, 2023) – The polycarbonate-clad Green House that architecture studio Hayhurst & Co slotted into a tight site in London has been named the RIBA’s House of the Year for 2023.

Replacing an existing home in an alleyway in Tottenham, the plant and light-filled residence is modelled on a riad – a type of traditional Moroccan house built around a central courtyard. It was hailed by the jury of this year’s RIBA House of the Year prize as “a true oasis within the city”.

Architecture: ‘Saltmarsh House’, Isle Of Wight – 2023 RIBA House Of The Year

Leave a comment

RIBA Architecture (October 26, 2023) – The Royal Institute of British Architects awards the House of the Year annually to the best example of a one-off house designed by an architect in the UK, celebrating excellence and innovation in home design.

Saltmarsh House, Isle of Wight by Niall McLaughlin Architects

A pyramidal copper roof with a crisp minimalist eavesdrop edge, seems to hover above an intricate glass pavilion, taking reference from the repeating pitched-roofed glasshouses that once graced the same grounds. Large windows provide uninterrupted harbour views, the use of glass and steel create a sense of lightness and transparency that blends seamlessly into the surroundings.

“What’s been nice about this building is to see the way in which the people have come in and started to use it. They’ve filled it with really beautiful art and furniture, in a way that has given me real pleasure.” — Niall McLaughlin, Principal Architect, Niall McLaughlin Architects.

“The client was very interested in architecture and design culture. As a keen gardener, she has interest in the seasons, weather, and landscape generally. We felt if we could meet all of those expectations, then we were on good course.” — Alastair Browning, Associate Architect, Niall McLaughlin Architects.
