Richard Murphy’s own house in Edinburgh has been awarded the 2016 RIBA House of the Year. It speaks to its context with direct references to the Georgian terraces, and with a clever change of scale that is at once deferential and powerfully striking in the street.
The RIBA House of the Year is awarded to the best new house designed by an architect in the UK. The award, sponsored by Hiscox Home Insurance and Paint & Paper Library, replaces the previous title 'RIBA Manser Medal'
