Two of our projects have made this years RIBA Regional Awards Shortlist. Saltmarsh House on the Isle of Wight, a steel framed pavilion that floats above a meadow of wild grasses. The simple house includes a long living and dining hall framed by three smaller spaces: a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom, and The WongAvery Gallery, a music practice and performance space for Trinity Hall, Cambridge.
