The Observer, Who should win the 2023 Stirling prize?

Rowan Moore has written in the Observer discussing who should win this years Stirling Prize and selected Saltmarsh House as one of them. He describes the building as "mathematically insistent and precise – the diameter of the metal tubes used for both structure and light fittings is an unvarying 4cm, and it’s built to a tiny 3mm margin of error – to the point of luxuriance. Victorian greenhouses that once stood nearby are inspirations for its fragility, the Amber Fort in Jaipur for its quadripartite columns, the Japanese engawa or veranda for the open-to-nature dining room."
