PRIVATE HOUSING PROJECT OF THE YEAR SHORTLIST
ADAM KNIBB ARCHITECTS: TARN MOOR
PRIVATE HOUSING PROJECT OF THE YEAR
Tarn Moor is an environmentally sustainable family home for a climate scientist. A unique building that capitalises on the fantastic views, which are exaggerated by the butterfly roof that frames the building outlook. This building has utilised a range of sustainable building materials, thermal control, and renewable electricity supply. This was a project not to use all brand-new elements but to prove it is possible to reuse, re-source and reduce impact in construction.
CITU: CLIMATE INNOVATION DISTRICT
PRIVATE HOUSING PROJECT OF THE YEAR
The Climate Innovation District is Citu’s flagship development located in Leeds City centre. The Climate Innovation District demonstrates that there is a different and better way to live within in our cities. Once complete, the district will consist of 950 homes, workspaces, retail and a multi generation building. All assembled from our timber frame panel system version 2.0 produced in our manufacturing facility.
DALLAS-PIERCE-QUINTERO: FOREST HOUSES
PRIVATE HOUSING PROJECT OF THE YEAR
Located between terraced homes and the edge of Wanstead Flats, Forest Houses revitalise an awkwardly-shaped brownfield plot – once a builder’s yard – to deliver 3 interwoven homes, alongside the refurbishment of a former shop to create another 1-bed home. Seeking to open up views across the Flats and minimise impact on neighbouring properties, the homes’ ‘upside-down’ design combines traditional brickwork with CLT panel construction to deliver a contemporary, sustainable & sitespecific design.
DONALDSON TIMBER SYSTEMS: STONEWOOD PARTNERSHIPS, ORCHARD FIELD
PRIVATE HOUSING PROJECT OF THE YEAR
The 88-home Orchard Field development is Stonewood Partnerships’ first timber frame project. Timber frame was the ideal solution to meet the required Association for Environment Conscious Building (AECB) standards, which demand excellent construction and low energy consumption. The homes used DTS’ Sigma II system to build walls that are 45cm thick once clad and achieve a U-value of 0.13. Following the positive experience, Stonewood has signed up for a second timber frame development with DTS.
PRIVATE HOUSING PROJECT OF THE YEAR
The Chobham Road Development is an unusual 900sqm residential scheme for Cliveden Land Ltd, urban regeneration developer. The project inserted four new buildings into the back car parking area of an existing development of 39 homes, to create a landscaped, mews-style development providing a quiet, green, and secure environment for all residents, both old and new. The four new buildings comprise two ‘L shaped’ blocks positioned carefully alongside the existing housing, creating two new courtyards.

EURBAN, MAICH SWIFT ARCHITECTS + STORA ENSO: RHOSSILI HOUSE
PRIVATE HOUSING PROJECT OF THE YEAR
Rhossili House is a private four bed home in a prominent and dramatic position on the Gower Peninsula - a conservation area and part of the UK’s first designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site is extremely exposed and difficult to access, facing the full force of the south westerly prevailing winds. Use of CLT enabled the house to be built, with Eurban in a race against time to complete the installation and get the building weathertight just days before the first covid 19 lockdown.
FRASER/LIVINGSTONE ARCHITECTS: SIMON SQUARE
PRIVATE HOUSING PROJECT OF THE YEAR
An essay in a new timber, Urban Vernacular: a traditional Scottish tenement built in a contemporary way, out of healthy, vapour-open, carbon-locking solid structural timber and with the form embracing light, view, and openness. This is the first commercial developer-led heavy timber residential development in Scotland, with new technology evolved to allow the exposure of the timber internally while exceeding Scotland’s high acoustic requirements.

G-FRAME STRUCTURES, MICAH T JONES ARCHITECTS + STORA ENSO:
LAMMASFIELD FARM
Lammasfield Farm is a private four bedroom ‘upside down barn house’ in Somerset. The new dwelling is formed of a masonry ground floor with a CLT upper floor and replaces a dilapidated two storey stone building. The interior fit out features extensive use of CLT which is used for windows, doors, built in furniture and huge concealed sliding shutters that showcase the fine joinery detail it is possible to achieve with this structural material.
NEAT ARCHITECTS: THE CABINS
PRIVATE HOUSING PROJECT OF THE YEAR
A cluster of mixed-use timber framed buildings in the heart of Folkestone’s Old Town, supporting creative industries by providing affordable, innovative spaces for studios, workshops, and homes. Formed by a series of timber framed and clad buildings of subtly varying heights, these create the impression is of a casually arranged group, however their internal planning reveals legible carefully and economical use of space.
RAMBOLL UK: BEECHWOOD WEST
PRIVATE HOUSING PROJECT OF THE YEAR
Beechwood West is the first ever Modular Cross-Laminated Timber project from a UK factory. This 251-plot housing development, a mix of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes, represents a step towards a more efficient UK construction industry with a focus on quality, safety, and sustainability. Using intricate computational and manufacturing techniques, this project combines the benefits of prefabricated CLT panels with those of modular construction to push boundaries and challenge industry standards.
