2011 Manser shortlist
The Watson House has been shortlisted for the 2011 Manser Medal.
JPA's Watson House is one of six exceptional new homes that have been shortlisted for the 2011 RIBA Manser Medal, a prize recognising the best new house or major extension in the UK. The Manser Medal is the the UK's pre-eminent private housing design award. The objective of the RIBA Manser Medal has always been to encourage innovation in house design, to show how social and technological ambitions can be met by intelligent design and to produce exemplars to be taken up by the wider house-building industry. The prize is named after Michael Manser, former President of the RIBA, who is well known for his own steel and glass house designs.
All six shortlisted projects can be seen on the RIBA's Manser Medal website with the winning entry announced on 11 November. The Sunday Times Home supplement covered the award on 11 September - read the article here. To see a video of the Watson house filmed by the RIBA, please click here.
