We’re delighted to share that Niwa House has been shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize 2025 - an award recognising buildings that enrich everyday life.
Set behind a terrace in Southwark, the house reveals calm, light-filled interiors shaped by oak glulam and stone. Stepping gently with the site, its design creates a series of Japanese-inspired spaces where home and garden flow together.
Following success at the RIBA London Awards and RIBA National Awards, this shortlist place continues a year of well-deserved recognition. Congratulations to Takero Shimazaki Architects and everyone involved – and to all the projects named in this year’s Stirling Prize line-up.
