Following last week’s spate of RIBA announcements, the Institute has released its annual House of the Year longlist featuring twenty new residential projects from around the UK. Formerly known as the Manser Medal, the award is considered RIBA’s most prestigious beside the Stirling Prize and has been a launching pad for several prominent designers in the past.

This year’s list includes the 2021 Stephen Lawrence Prize Winner from Tonkin Liu in addition to several other superlative efforts from Turner Works, ACME, and others. 

The shortlist and Grand Prize Winners will be announced during the BBC Channel 4’s Grand Designs: House of the Year program, which will be aired later in the year. 

The complete selection of longlist nominees can be seen below.
