Longlisted
Rib House is a cost-effective renovation and extension to a lower ground floor flat.
The property has been transformed from a cramped one-bed into a light-filled two-bedroom home for a young property developer with an ambition to create a design-led portfolio.
The design is intentionally simple and honest, utilising careful composition and detailing to celebrate and elevate affordable materials and construction techniques. The rhythm of the exposed structure, painted in a single neutral colour, creates a calm interior whilst the filtered natural light and limited palette of materials add warmth.
