3A Hampstead Lane has been long listed for the RIBA Manser Medal. The RIBA Manser Medal shortlist is announced at the Stirling Dinner and presented at a separate event. The objective of the RIBA Manser Medal has always been to encourage innovation in house design, to show how social and technological ambitions can be met by intelligent design and to produce exemplars to be taken up by the wider house-building industry.

Ruth Reed, RIBA President, said:

"The best new private homes are those designed by an architect to meet the client's personal needs and aspirations and add real value to the homeowner's life and happiness.

This year's longlist for the RIBA Manser Medal in association with HSBC Private Bank recognises some truly exceptional and exciting private houses, with projects located in the farthest reaches of the UK. On the Hebridean Isle of Coll and on the shingle shore of Dungeness young architects have brought old buildings back to life as new homes. In Brecon and Suffolk architects have created exceptionally daring houses with cantilevered floors and structural tricks aplenty. The results - our longlist - are breathtaking, and should lead to the best ever shortlist."

The RIBA Manser Medal 2011 longlist has been chosen from winners of an RIBA Award. The shortlist for the medal will be announced on 8 September 2011 and the winner will be announced on 10 November 2011 at a prestigious prize ceremony at the RIBA. The winning architect will receive a trophy comissioned by HSBC Private Bank and a prize of £10,000.
