The RIBA East region has unveiled its shortlist for the 2026 awards, and it's a star-studded lineup! Witherford Watson Mann, the architects behind the stunning Appleby Blue almshouse in Southwark, are in the running again with their River Wing addition to Clare College, Cambridge. But here's where it gets interesting - they're up against Alison Brooks Architects, who jointly won the Stirling Prize in 2008, for their net-zero residential development in Cambridge. And that's not all - the shortlist includes a garage-turned-artist studio, a council-funded multi-arts hub, and a private chapel in Suffolk. So, who will take home the regional awards? And will any of these projects make it to the Stirling Prize shortlist? Stay tuned to find out!
