Flint House Wins RIBA House of the Year

The most presitigious award in British residential architecture was won by Flint House at the RIBA House of the Year awards last night.

Designed by Skene Catling de la Peña with Max Fordham for the Rothschild estate, the house was revealed as the winner on last night's final episode of Grand Designs: House of the Year by Kevin McCloud.

The judges called it a 'marvel of geologcal evolution and construction' beautifully melded into the Buckinghamshire countryside. The exterior of the house is clad in hand-cut flint masonry that was drawn from five nearby quarries.

Max Fordham provided environmental engineering design for the project - one that continues a warm and fruitful relationship with the client, the Rothschild estate, since our work on the Waddeston Manor archive.
