As part of its ongoing commitment towards supporting excellence in architectural design, specialist manufacturer the Rooflight Company has announced that it is to sponsor the RIBA Manser Medal Award in 2007 and 2008. The prestigious honour – along with a cheque for £5000 – is awarded for the best one-off, architect-designed house or major extension in the UK.
Recognising new and innovative approaches to residential design and technology and established in 2001, the prize was named after Michael Manser, former President of RIBA, who was renowned for his own steel and glass housing designs. These same materials are utilised throughout the Rooflight Company’s own range of products, which encompasses the widest selection of high quality roof windows and skylights for pitched and flat roofs in the UK.
Valerie King, Managing Director of the Rooflight Company, comments: “We are delighted to be given the opportunity to sponsor this award, particularly because we have always aimed to help facilitate the design process by providing innovative solutions created from an architect’s point of view.”
Founded by the inventor of the Conservation Rooflight®, architect Peter King RIBA, the Rooflight Company also offers a bespoke service delivering special rooflights made to order. With an illustrious background in conservation and heritage projects, it is rapidly expanding its repertoire in contemporary architecture, having recently worked with such prominent names as Will Alsop and Zaha Hadid. Innovative design continues to be the driving force of the company, and the newly launched, frameless neo™ Rooflight demonstrates clearly how form and function can be successfully brought together in one product.
Featuring a shortlist chosen from winners of RIBA Awards, the winner of the 2007 Manser Medal will be announced at the RIBA Stirling Prize Dinner in October. For more information on the Rooflight Company’s portfolio of designs, please visit www.therooflightcompany.co.uk.
