7 amazing British properties

once a year the Royal Institute of British Architects celebrates the perfect residences built in the UK in its home of the year award. For 2015, the seven constructions ranged from a far off abode that seemingly grows from its website to a prefabricated construction set at the back of a 19th-century steady wall in London’s Kew green regional.

Skene Catling de la Pena‘s stone-clad Flint house in Buckinghamshire, uk, took the highest spot. The jury lauded it for its terrestrial traits:

The constructing is an example of an progressive piece of architecture that implies a typology for the one-off home that is not an object within the panorama but is of the landscape; yet isn’t so deferential to nature, that it isn’t difficult, dramatic, and most of all poetic.

The architects describe the angular silhouette as one “jutting from the ground like a collision of tectonic plates, a man-made mountain that follows the profile of the present bushes.”
