Special mention for Arboreal memorial

Tonkin Liu has won the 2018 Stephen Lawrence Prize for its transformation of a farm shed into a home.

The Old Shed New House project in North Yorkshire was described as “breathtaking” by Marco Goldschmied, the founder of the prize for projects with a budget of less than £1m.

The judges also gave a special mention to Arboreal for the Bethnal Green Memorial to the 173 people who were crushed to death on the steps of the Tube station during a Second World War air-raid panic.
