Given in honour of modernist architect and social housing pioneer, Neave Brown (1926-2018), the annual award recognises the UK’s best new affordable housing.
The prize was presented to Apparata Architects at the RIBA Stirling Prize Award ceremony last night in Manchester.
The first of its kind in the UK, A House for Artists provides flexible living and working spaces for 12 artists and their families. We provided M&E Engineering and Acoustics for the project. Services are designed for adaptability and flexibility on the residential floors to allow homes to be modified as needs change.
A House for Artists was also on the shortlist for the Stirling Prize, alongside the Courtauld Institute of Art, which won the People's Poll, and Central Somers Town Community Facilities and Housing.
