Six Columns steals the show at RIBA awards

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has awarded the title of House of the Year to Six Columns, a four-bedroom property in south-east London designed by 31/44 Architects. RIBA President Muyiwa Oki praised the home, saying: "Six Columns is a beautifully crafted family home that cleverly incorporates Brutalist references and creative flourishes while retaining a strong sense of suburban belonging." The property triumphed over other contenders, including Peckham House and Eavesdrop in Sussex. Oki highlighted the design's adaptability, noting: "This is a home that can evolve with its occupants' changing needs over time." Je Ahn, chair of House of the Year, emphasised the uniqueness of one-off houses, saying: "Your home is not a static slice of time, but continuously evolves with you." The award showcases innovative design within tight suburban spaces.
