The results of the 2026 British Homes Awards are in, celebrating the architects, developers, and designers who are redefining how Britain lives. This year’s ceremony, hosted by TV presenter Philippa Forrester, highlighted a sector stepping up to meet complex housing, sustainability, and community needs with uncompromising quality.
Architecture practice PRP emerged as the standout multi-award winner of the night, taking home three major trophies across placemaking, housing, and supported living.
London studio Gruff Architects enjoyed a extraordinary night thanks to Ripple House in Peckham. The project claimed Development of the Year (up to 10 Homes) before going on to take the night’s ultimate honour: the coveted Judges' Award for Excellence. Replacing a substandard end-of-terrace property with three light-filled, low-energy homes, the project was praised by judges as a masterclass in unlocking tight urban infill sites.
Morris+Company claimed Architect of the Year, backed by their winning project Woodward Road (delivered alongside Be First, who took home Developer of the Year). The 56-home mews development in Dagenham delivers 100% affordable rent centered around a restored community library extension and shared streets.
Bradley Van Der Straeten Architects won Interior Designer of the Year, alongside Best Interior Design: Individual Home (up to 2,500 sq ft) for Mica—a radical reinterpretation of an industrial ground-floor flat in Islington that zones open spaces through rich, layered joinery and colour.
