Resources for architecture awards

Shortlisted for the RIBA Awards, The Cowshed designed by Design Storey (Oxford) is a carefully considered conversion of a historic Cotswolds barn into a two-bedroom home. The awards process has been both detailed and demanding—from assembling a strong submission that highlights the project’s design, sustainability, and technical approach to preparing for the in-person judging. With a focus on conservation and innovation, the team has had to articulate not just the final outcome but the challenges, problem-solving, and craftsmanship behind the project. The recognition so far reinforces the value of small-scale projects that balance heritage with contemporary needs.
