The three residential housing projects on the shortlist for the 2013 Stephen Lawrence Prize are: Tanners Hill in Lewisham by Dow Jones Architects, Church Walk in Stoke Newington by David Mikhail Architects and Slip House in Brixton by Carl Turner Architects.
The RIBA Stephen Lawrence Prize is funded by the Marco Goldschmied Foundation. It is intended to reward the best examples of projects that have a construction budget of less than £1 million and encourage fresh talent working with smaller budgets.
Tanners Hill is a Grade-II listed structure that was used as a bicycle workshop before being converted into a home. Church Walk is a group of four new-build properties with a striking stepped profile and flush lime-pointed brick façade. The Slip House is a low-energy house made from a semi-industrial palette of materials.
The overall winner is due to be announced today as part of the Stirling Prize ceremony at Central St Martin’s.
One of the houses within the Church Walk development was recently let through The Modern House.
