Saltmarsh House on the Isle of Wight has been longlisted for the RIBA House of the Year. The judges have described it as " a stunning example of modern architectural design". The winner will be announced later in the year.
The practice has been awarded the BPCF 2012 Creativity in Concrete Award for their treatment of the facade for the Athletes’ Housing Block N15 within the Olympic Village. The precast cladding panels sample fragments of the Elgin Marbles, which were scanned digitally from the British Museum in London. The scans were used to make fibreboard positives using a 5-axis router, which then became the formwork for the latex moulds from which the panels were cast.
