Four schemes make shortlist

The RIBA has announced the shortlist for the 2021 Neave Brown Award for Housing.

Four schemes and three architecture practices have made the shortlist in the second iteration of the honour.

Named after the late Neave Brown, a winner of the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture, the awards were launched in 2019 but were not held last year due to the pandemic.

The previous winner was Mikhail Riches Architects’ Goldsmith Street scheme in Norwich, which also won the Stirling Prize that year.

The practices nominated for this year’s shortlist are Maccreanor Lavington, Stanton Williams and Peter Barber, with the latter nominated for two different schemes - 95 Peckham Road, London, and McGrath Road, also in London.

Maccreanor Lavington was nominated for its Blackfriars Circus scheme in London.

Stanton Williams was the only firm nominated for a project outside of London - with its Key Worker Housing scheme in Eddington Cambridge earning it a nod.

None of the practices were nominated for the award in 2019.
