House of the Year: Part One >>> blending into the surrounding countryside

Earlier this month we had the British Construction Industry awards - with some inspiring buildings being recognised:
Futures Forum: BCI Construction awards >>> lessons for East Devon

And there are plenty of other building projects going on which can inspire:
Futures Forum: Plans for Port Royal: building big in wood
Futures Forum: 'The power of architecture to lift the spirits and help in the process of therapy.'

This evening saw the first installment on Channel 4 of the Royal Institute of British Architect's search for the House of the Year:
RIBA House of the Year 2016
Grand Designs - House of the Year: a hidden hillside home, a brutal fortress and a 'metal shed' are in the running for top RIBA award | Homes and Property

As covered by the national press:

It's all about blending into the surrounding countryside:
