As well as an overall winner, winning designs will also be announced on a further six categories: Urban Oasis of the Year, the Compact Design of the Year, Best Project under £75k, the Environmental Leadership Prize, Most Unique Character Award, and the prize for Materiality and Craftsmanship. All will be revealed during a dedicated ceremony on Tuesday 11 February. §Photography: Andy StaggPhotography: Emanuelis StasaitisDouglas House by RISE Design Studio.
