Photos: Britain's House Of The Year

This wedge-shaped house in Buckinghamshire has been awarded House Of The Year in the prestigious Royal Institute Of British Architects (Riba) awards. Commissioned by Lord Rothschild for use by his family, Flint House rises out of the ground with step-style roofing that disappears into the sky. 

The house, designed by architects Skene Catling De La Pena, sits in the grounds of Rothchild’s estate at Waddesdon Manor and has been constructed using masonry and flint cladding. Riba commented that the home is ‘an intriguing and intelligent mixed application of rooftops, terraces and recesses that combine to deliver a stunning piece of liveable, provoking, modern architecture that marries into the earthly yet beautiful countryside’ See more photos below....
