Why do you think the British Homes Awards are important? How to they stand out against other awards in the industry?

The British Home Awards feel particularly special because they focus on the place where architecture arguably has its most direct and personal impact: the home. There are many awards that celebrate buildings as objects, but homes need to be judged through a slightly different lens. They are not only about visual quality or architectural ambition, but about how successfully they support real lives. A great home has to balance beauty, practicality, context, sustainability, comfort, craftsmanship and emotional intelligence. It has to work on a human level. For me, that is what makes the British Home Awards important. They recognise that residential design is not secondary to more public forms of architecture. It is central to how people live, how families grow, how communities form and how individuals feel day to day. The best homes can improve wellbeing, create security, unlock joy and make ordinary routines feel better considered and more meaningful. What also makes the awards different is the range of work they bring together. Residential design is incredibly broad, from ambitious new-build homes to sensitive renovations, extensions, interiors and developments. The British Home Awards provide a platform to celebrate that diversity and to recognise the designers, clients and teams who are pushing the quality of homes forward. I am excited to be part of an awards programme that champions not just good design, but better ways of living.
