2019 RIBA Stirling Prize Winner
Winner of the 2019 RIBA Stirling Prize goes to Goldsmith Street by Mikhail RichesAs the first social-housing scheme to win the RIBA Stirling Prize, Goldsmith Street by Mikhail Riches with Cathy Hawley had also won the first Neave Brown Award for Housing at last week’s event in the Roundhouse.The 2019 RIBA Stirling Prize judges, chaired by Julia Barfield, said:“Goldsmith Street is a modest masterpiece. It is high-quality architecture in its purest, most environmentally and socially conscious form. Behind restrained creamy façades are impeccably-detailed, highly sustainable homes – an incredible achievement for a development of this scale. This is proper social housing, over ten years in the making, delivered by an ambitious and thoughtful council. These desirable, spacious, low-energy properties should be the norm for all council housing.”The project for Norwich City Council is made up of almost 100 highly energy-efficient homes. Rows of two-storey houses are bookended by three-storey flats, each with their own front door, generous lobby space for prams and bikes, and a private balcony.Neave Brown AwardThe award, named in honour of the late Neave Brown (1929 – 2018), recognises the best new example of affordable housing in the UK. Projects eligible for the award needed to have won a RIBA Regional Award be 10 or more homes completed and occupied between 1 November 2016 and 1 February 2019; and have one third of the housing be affordable and demonstrate evidence of meeting the challenge of housing affordability.Chair of the Neave Brown Award for Housing Jury, Immediate RIBA Past President Ben Derbyshire, said:“Goldsmith Street is an exemplar for social housing. Over 10 years in the making, the architects, working with the City Council, have shown impressive sensitivity and prowess at every stage of the process. The result is not just a highly desirable new neighbourhood for Norwich, but homes of the highest quality and most exacting environmental standards. That the outcome appears so naturally at ease in its context requires skill and determination belied by the scheme’s apparent simplicity.
