The House of the Year 2016 longlist

In June RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) released the longlist of homes that will go head to head for the prestigious title of House of the Year 2016. There are twenty properties on the list, featuring some of the very best examples of residential architecture. At Coffey Architects we were immensely proud to have our Modern Mews project included. This will be the second year the award has been presented to the winning property. Previously the successful home was awarded the Manser Medal. This was named after celebrated architect Michael Manser and was given to the best home designed by an architect in the UK from 2001 until 2014.The longlist includes some projects by well known names, including the 2014 winner. Each of them has an incredible design and utilises materials to wonderful affect. The buildings are dotted all around the UK, including in the Peak District, Edinburgh, and Dungeness in Kent. Several are in London alongside our Modern Mews.Each of the homes on the longlist will be judged by a specially selected panel. Included on this list is Charlotte Skene Catling, the architect who won the RIBA House of the Year award in 2015 for Flint House. Two other architects whose projects appeared on the previous list of buildings up for the award are on the jury too.You can view all of the wonderful homes on the longlist by visiting the architecture.com website. Simply click each image and you can read more about each project, including the thoughts that went into the design. There are many beautiful pictures to view so you can get a feel of each property in its entirety.At Coffey Architects we have a real passion for residential architecture and couldn't be happier to be up for this prestigious award. We look forward to hearing the thoughts of the judges in the autumn and seeing which home gets the honour of being crowned House of the Year 2016.
