Space House has been shortlisted for the RIBA's inaugural Reinvention Award.
Selected from this year's Regional Award winners, jury chair Hugh Broughton, describes the award as recognising 'exceptional achievements in retrofitting existing buildings, returning them to productive use in inventive and joyful ways.'
The jury also comprises Richard Upton, deputy chief executive officer, Landsec U+I, and Judit Kimpian, sustainability adviser and board member, Architects' Council of Europe (ACE).
RIBA president Chris Williamson said: 'With growing pressures to reach the government's net zero targets, the role of retrofit has never been more important. By transforming existing buildings, architects can preserve their history and heritage, reduce environmental impact, and deliver spaces that are fit for the future and meet the needs of the communities they serve.
'Our four shortlisted schemes are inspiring examples of how retrofit can successfully breathe new life into buildings while combining environmental responsibility, innovation and architectural excellence.'
This follows Space House's success this year as a National Award, London Regional Award and Conservation Award winner. The Reinvention Award winner will be announced at the RIBA Stirling Prize ceremony on 15 October.
