Niwa House by , engineered with , continues to receive recognition, recently winning the AJ House of the Year (Manser Medal) and a 2025 RIBA London Award. It is also featured on Channel 4โ€™s Grand Designs: House of the Year.

Set behind a terrace in south London, the house uses a composite timber-and-stone structure where stone slabs take compression and glulam beams take tension. This provides stiffness and thermal mass, helping to keep the home comfortable without mechanical cooling.
The design links the interior with enclosed gardens and courtyards, and the layout is fully wheelchair accessible, reflecting the needs of the family who live there.
