England + Scotland + Wales

We’ve selected what we feel are the key examples of British Property Designs. Residences are mostly located in the south east of the country. We aim to include British Property / projects that are of top quality.

We cover completed houses in Britain and new property designs. We also post residential architecture competitions across the British Isles.

We have 3 pages of British House selections.
