Healthcare Architecture: vote here
We’re thrilled to share that The Apple House is a Finalist in the 2026 ArchDaily Building of the Year Awards
More than 70,000 nominations from 100 countries were submitted this year, narrowing 3,000+ projects to just 75 finalists. The Apple House is one of five finalists in Healthcare Architecture.
Thank you for all the support - If you’d like to further support the project, an additional round of voting is open until 18 February at 18:00.
The Apple House took 7 years from first idea to completion. Early on, it became clear there was real need and tremendous support for a place like this. Our co-founder, Dr Sue Stuart-Smith brilliant book The Well Gardened Mind helped shape the thinking from the beginning and continues to guide the Project today.
This has been a hugely collaborative effort: thank you to Tom Stuart-Smith and his brilliant team at Tom Stuart-Smith Studio (landscape), Structure Workshop (engineering) to Gordon Clark and team at Slabside along with so many trades, builders and craftspeople whose care and skill made it real.
The Apple House is built almost exclusively from natural, low-carbon and locally sourced materials, and is a place of exchange and learning: hosting whole-studio gatherings, knowledge-sharing, and symposiums including Working with Earth, Working with Water, The Safe Green Space, and The Power of Trees, to name a few.
From this stage the winner is decided by public vote- and we’d love you to vote for us!
Huge thanks for your support!
