    🏆 The UK’s best new home – Six Columns by 31/44 Architects wins RIBA House of the Year 2024. Designed by Will Burges, Director of 31/44 Architects, as a family home for himself, his wife and two children, Six Columns cleverly occupies a tight plot in the leafy suburbs of Crystal Palace, South London. As the family occupy the building, they will continue to tinker with it, inside and out, allowing it to evolve to their changing needs over time. “Six Columns is a beautifully crafted family home that cleverly incorporates Brutalist references and creative flourishes while retaining a strong sense of suburban belonging. It shows what can be achieved when working with even the tightest of suburban sites, and its flexible, unfinished aesthetic offers a solution to futureproofed design: this is a home that can evolve with its occupants’ changing needs overtime. The generosity of space belies the limitations of this small garden plot. As we look for creative and practical solutions to the housing crisis, Six Columns offers a blueprint for bespoke urban infill development.” – Muyiwa Oki PRIBA, RIBA President ➡️ Watch the project film: https://ow.ly/seGA50Uj2Ru #HouseOfTheYear

    Apprenticeships have been a welcome change to the architectural education process – both for students and employers. However, the Department for Education's potential defunding of Level 7 apprenticeships puts this at risk. It was great to see Shadow Minister for Education Neil O'Brien referencing our joint appeal with the Royal Town Planning Institute, The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and RICS for Level 7 apprenticeships in the built environment to be exempt from funding cuts, in Parliament this week. To deliver high-quality, well-designed homes and places we desperately need a pipeline of talent in the built environment.

    Great to see Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan at the RIBA stand in the London Pavilion today at MIPIM, as he focuses on accelerating the delivery of affordable homes and unlocking infrastructure and jobs. Our recently released Foundations for the Future report sets out a new delivery model for social housing, which will be vital to help meet the government’s pledge to build 1.5 million homes. Architects will play a crucial role in this, and we’re here at #MIPIM2025 to showcase the value and expertise of our RIBA Chartered Practices in shaping a better built environment. ➡️ Read more about the report: https://ow.ly/lU4H50Vfsvn #RIBAatMIPIM #MIPIM
