Co. delivered the vision of owners Tom and Amandine, who both longed for a low-cost, functional five-bedroom home for their family in a Conservation Area in Tottenham, north London.<\/p>\n<p>The award, which was established in 2013, is presented to the best new architect-designed house or extension in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Green House innovated a typical terraced house and replaced an existing property down an alleyway on a compact urban plot.<\/p>\n<p>The owners aimed to maximise living space and feel connected to nature despite being inside.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/04\/18\/78562839-12823661-image-m-26_1701713710669.jpg\" height=\"518\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Green House (pictured) in a conservation area in Tottenham has been named RIBA House of the year 2023\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Green House&#8217;s modern exterior is clad in polycarbonate panels and screened with dense plating, discreetly hiding the lavish new home.<\/p>\n<p>The home adopts a &#8216;biophilic design&#8217;

blending the indoor space with the outside.<\/p>\n<p>The adjustable nature of the screens and planting also allows the family to adjust the level of privacy and ventilation as they wish.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, the green-painted steel stairs deliver the home&#8217;s bold character, which leads to the bedrooms and bathrooms.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by a Riad architectural design, natural light floods the house, hence RIBA&#8217;s jurors describing it as a &#8216;domestic greenhouse&#8217; and &#8216;extraordinary ordinary house.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The house also boasts plush views of the gardens and roof terrace to emphasize the property&#8217;s interrelation with the surrounding greenery.<\/p>\n<p>On the ground floor, the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow into one another and can be divided by floor-to-floor ceiling sweeping curtains.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/04\/17\/78562841-12823661-image-a-17_1701712751962.jpg\" height=\"793\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Designed by Hayhurst &amp;
