The Pavilion - Extension of The Year

The Pavilion joins a number of highly respected projects in the shortlist for British Homes Awards Extension of The Year (Under 2,500sqft). Designed by Frank Atkinson in the early 20th century as a summer house on a grand Georgian South London estate, this Grade II listed building is now revived as a beautiful family home through this sensitive, elegant extension. With designs and planning by Luis Trevino Architects, RDA took this project to completion – removing the previous awkward extension and transforming the home into a spacious, contemporary building that made the most of its heritage features. 

Modernist Enerphit - Decarbonisation & Net Zero

Having already won Best Green Home 2023, it has been shortlisted by British Homes Awards and the Passive Trust Awards last year. This year Modernist Enerphit is shortlisted for Architect’s Journal’s prestigious Retrofit & Reuse Awards in the Decarbonisation and Net Zero category. This is one we are particularly proud of, as the driving force of RDA has always been sustainable, low energy buildings. Particularly when it comes to retrofits, and this is one of our finest and most challenging. Build by architect Michael Blackstock in the 1960’s, we took part in a lengthy process of deep retrofitting and transforming this drafty, inefficient house into a beautiful low-energy home that retains all the key design features of its Modernist roots.

We wish the best of luck to our fellow nominees, and appreciate your support of RDA. Fingers crossed!
