This delightful retirement home for the Actor's Charitable Trust achieves a comfortable domestic feel through the use of good quality sustainable materials such as stock bricks, slate, copper and cedar-boarding. The judges particulary admired the dramatic use of chimneys for passive ventilation, which create a sense of drama that is not out of place in a building that caters for actors.
