The Minimalists and the Winner
In this final episode, Kevin McCloud reveals the winner of the most prestigious prize for residential architecture: the Royal Institute of British Architects House of the Year 2017. But first, Kevin, the architect Damion Burrows, and Michelle Ogundehin, editor-at-large of Elle Decoration, sift the final category from the long list, all of them homes that share a pared-back, minimal look. First, on the site of a former caretaker's shed in London, they visit a small but perfectly formed home with oak panelling and sleek polished concrete floors. In Suffolk, a suite of three buildings clad in flint and burned larch, are wrapped around a Persian-inspired courtyard. There's a finely crafted contemporary home packed onto a tiny site in south London; and finally, a luxurious family home, complete with swimming pool, built out of smoked oak and brick.
