The Manser Medal

The 2016 Manser Medal was presented in association with the Sunday Times British Homes Awards, with the winner receiving a £5,000 prize fund.

Six schemes were selected from designs that were highly commended within the three British Homes Awards’ categories for a best One-Off House or Extension:

• up to 2,500 sq ft
• between 2,500 and 5,000 sq ft and
• above 5,000 sq ft

and were visited by the eminent judging panel:

• Michael’s son Jonathan Manser, managing director of The Manser Practice
• Luke Tozer, director of Pitman Tozer Architects, a Manser Medal winner with Gap House in 2010 and
• Lynne Sullivan, Chair of the Good Homes Alliance, Chair RIBA Sustainable Futures, architect and regional and national design review panel member

The stunning classic modernist Outhouse, designed by Loyn & Co Architects, was their choice and a worthy winner of the 2016 Medal.
