    RIBA East jury chair, Julian de Metz, said: \u201cThe East region, diverse in typology, scale and context, boasts some spectacular architecture at every level. Congratulations to all those who made this year’s shortlist, with projects ranging from a modest, low-cost artist studio to major housing, education and arts projects.<\/p>\n

    But what elevates a good building of any size to become great architecture? This will be best judged by seeing those buildings in the flesh, and the jury is excited and privileged to be doing this.\u201d<\/p>\n

    ApplebyBlue won the Stirling Prize last year<\/h3>\n

    The shortlist was announced for the RIBA Stirling Prize last year<\/a>, which included Appleby Blue Almshouse by Witherford Watson Mann Architects, Elizabeth Tower by Purcell, Hastings House by Hugh Strange Architects, London College of Fashion by Allies and Morrison, Niwa House by Takero Shimazaki Architects, and The Discovery Centre by Herzog and deMeuron\/BDP.<\/p>\n

    After deliberation, Appleby Blue Almshouse was chosen to win the prize.<\/a><\/p>\n

    The site was described as: \u201cIn Bermondsey, United St Saviour\u2019s Charity (UStSC), a Southwark-based charity of almost 500 years, set out the ambition to re-interpret the traditional almshouse, offering high-quality social collective housing for older people. The new almshouse, Appleby Blue, provides 59 apartments and shared facilities.
    \nThe site was originally council-owned, occupied by a disused care home. The private developer purchased it and largely funded the construction of the social housing, as the off-site affordable provision for a large residential development in Bankside. UStSC will operate the almshouse in perpetuity, with rents capped at social housing levels.\u201d<\/p>\n
