Gap House Pitman Tozer Architects Pitman Tozer Architects' Gap House has been shorlisted as one of five vying for the RIBA Manser Medal for best housing project.

The project utilises passive solar design, high levels of insulation, a ground coupled heat pump, and rainwater harvesting to reduce its impact on the environment and meets Code For Sustainable Homes Level 4. This was achieved despite a being a narrow site within a conservation area and jammed between two listed buildings. The building is a comfortable family house yet it's also an example of how sustainable architecture can be achieved without compromise on a constrained plot and without making a song and dance about it.

They added: 'The house is a fine example of design in a tight urban site.'
