Winners announced for Don’t Move Improve! 2021
In its eleventh year, the Don’t Move, Improve! 2021 awards was inundated with homes that showcase the ingenuity of residential design in London today.
As supporters of the awards, we are delighted to share with you the exceptional projects that have won in this year’s awards, all demonstrating how a well-designed home can improve quality of life, offer functional solutions on the smallest of sites, and create beautiful spaces even within the most restricted of budgets.
With an annual exhibition, magazine and regular advice sessions with architects, engineers, and designers, the programme aims to celebrate London’s best domestic-scale designs and encourage homeowners to embark on their own home improvement project.
