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.
Niall McLaughlin was invited to be one of the six members of the RIBA Honours Committee Panel, a group selected to choose the winner of the Royal Gold Medal. The other members of the panel were architects Peter Clegg, Yvonne Farrell, Professor Adrian Forty, and Sarah Wigglesworth. The panel has nominated the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor as the 2013 recipient of the award.
