Award RIBA East Midlands Award 2024

Kingsfield Ponds is a new country house built on a secluded site in North East Lincolnshire. It is one of a handful for which the architects have received planning permission on plots in the open countryside where development is only allowed if it is innovative or outstanding, and helps raise the standards of housing in rural areas.

The jury agreed that Kingsfield Ponds does raise the standards, featuring innovative responses to sustainability and showcasing what can be achieved by local craftspeople. The simple interiors and furniture are custom made within 40 miles of the site using locally sourced English elm and larch. Like the ducks on the pond, there is a lot going on beneath the surface to make this house look serene and calm.
