Whether you're seeking inspiration, technical knowledge, or new perspectives on residential architecture, this event offers valuable insights. Not only into best practices, but emerging trends, and creative approaches that are influencing the next generation of living spaces too.

Featuring our very own Jan Carlos Kucharek, deputy editor, RIBAJ as chair.

Speakers and presentations from:

Stephen Witherford, Co-Founder and Director, Witherford Watson Mann who will tell us about multi-award-winning Appleby Blue, a design that drew on the historic typology of almshouses, ‘flipped’ to have a closer relationship with the city and offering an active, open building for sharing. 

 Paul Bulkeley, Founder, Snug Architects who joins us to share RIBA MacEwan Award winner Hope Street, a progressive pilot project which applies trauma informed design for women caught up in the justice system. 

 Jorge Eguiguren, Director and Architect, KKE Architects who will provide a glimpse of The Old Fire Station, a significant historical and architectural landmark originally built in 1938, now which offers 28 luxury apartments, including a penthouse and balances modern functionality with respect for the building’s historical context.
