Flint House, designed by architects Skene Catling De La Pena, has been revealed as House Of the Year in the Royal Institute of British Architects Awards.
The 2015 jury consist of Jonathan Manser, Chair, Manser Practice; Mary Duggan, Duggan Morris Architects; Chris Loyn, Loyn & Co, 2014 Manser Medal winner; James Standen, Hiscox and Tony Chapman, RIBA Head of Awards.
The announcement was made on Grand Designs: House of the Year. Commissioned by Lord Rothschild for the use of his family, the wedge shaped 6,200sq ft house in Buckinghamshire was constructed using masonry and flint cladding.
The building was selected from a seven-strong shortlist, revealed over the course of the House of the Year TV series.
The award celebrates the work of architects who persue the highest standard of design to create cutting edge homes.
RIBA President Jane Duncan said: “Although superbly original and unique, the Flint House continues a fine tradition of RIBA award-winning houses that provide exemplars for others: architects, clients and developers.”
“Whilst defined by its flint construction, the project is home to an intriguing and intelligent mixed application of rooftops, terraces and recesses that combine to deliver a stunning piece of liveable, provoking, modern architecture that marries into the earthly yet beautiful countryside,” added the RIBA.
