On Wednesday 7 November, the 20 projects in competition for RIBA House of the Year will start being whittled down to the shortlist and final winner on Channel 4's Grand Designs. In the meantime, we introduce the five expert jury members with the mammoth task of selecting the 2018 RIBA House of the Year.

As Daniel's father worked in construction, his family homes were always part building site growing up and it felt natural that he too aspired for a career in the industry.

Simon grew up in Whitley Bay, then completed his Part 1 studies in Architecture at Newcastle University. He worked locally before heading up to Edinburgh College of Art and University to complete his Part 2.

Robin grew up as one of five children in rural South Lakeland on the edge of the national park. His father trained as a joiner and had a workshop which occupied the ground floor of the house which made a great, if hazardous, creative playground throughout and he was always getting in trouble for leaving the workshop in a mess with bits of projects left all over the place.
