What are you most looking forward to about judging this year's British Homes Awards and, as a judge, what are you looking for in the work?

The British Homes Awards are important because they recognise projects that set new standards for residential design, innovation and quality. They celebrate homes that not only look exceptional but also enhance the way people live, supporting wellbeing, sustainability and changing lifestyle needs. What sets them apart is their focus on the overall impact of a home, bringing together leading experts to recognise projects that combine design excellence with meaningful value for occupants and communities. They showcase the best of the industry while inspiring its future.
