Tour: Best New UK House

From the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) website: Six Columns by 31/44 Architects has been named as the winner of RIBA House of the Year 2024, the annual award for the UK’s best new home.

Designed by Will Burges, Director of 31/44 Architects, as a family home for himself, his wife and two children, Six Columns cleverly occupies a tight urban plot in the leafy suburbs of Crystal Palace, South London.

Named after the six columns found throughout the structure of the building, the four-bedroom home echoes the proportions and materials of neighboring terrace houses, while retailing its own individual character – with architectural influences abound, from the classical to the modern.
