Red House by David Kohn Architects scoops the coveted RIBA House of the Year 2022 title
Red House by David Kohn Architects has won the coveted RIBA House of the Year 2022 title – crowning this idiosyncratic rural Dorset home as the country's best new single-family residential project. Its creator David Kohn, the London-based architect and founder of his namesake studio, was thrilled. 'It’s super exciting. I was pretty flabbergasted, it’s a very special honour,' he confessed.
Quirkiness and challenges – and having perimeters and restrictions – are crucial in architecture, according to Kohn: 'Clients are very important to us – and that is not paying lip service to the idea. I very much enjoy talking about design, having a conversation where you are learning about someone and understanding their wants and needs. I don’t appreciate the idea of carte blanche so much.
The owners' art, design objects and various collections and processions needed a home within this home, to allow for the interior to appear less cluttered. Kohn designed three 'towers' which are scattered across the floorplan, alternating with living spaces on the ground floor and providing the all-important concealed storage and services. They are echoed on the outside by a change in the brick bond and pattern.
