On the night when the Everyman Theatre was announced as the winner of the Stirling Prize for 2014, House No 7 won the architecture prize awarded for projects under the £1 million.

Denizen Works picked up the £5000 prize for their ‘intelligent and witty’ design which was unanimously voted as the winner this year.

Judge and Stephen Lawrence Prize founder Marco Goldschmied said: “House No 7 hails from a rich British tradition of buildings which are defined by the location of site and the traditional methods of vernacular construction. The rebuilt cottage and new living spaces cleverly wrap to create an intimate daylight space at its core.

“The result is an inventive play on typology; the small cluster of different components creates a new identity while sitting comfortably in the landscape amongst other small traditional buildings.

“It’s an intelligent and witty response to the functional and logistical challenges of location, orientation and isolation and worthy of the 2014 RIBA Stephen Lawrence Prize.”

The Stephen Lawrence prize was set up in 1993 and is intended to encourage fresh talent working with smaller projects.
