Sun Rain Rooms by Tonkin Liu has been crowned overall winner of Don’t Move, Improve! 2018! Celebrating London’s best-designed new home extensions and improvements, the annual competition promotes the value of good design to householders and the work of emerging architectural practices, and is recognised by the Dezeen Hot List as one of the world’s most popular design awards.

The winner was praised by the expert jury for its unique intervention to a Grade-II listed Georgian townhouse in Islington, showcasing how creative design can deliver truly innovative solutions that reinterpret the traditional garden. Tonkin Liu joins a prestigious line up of past winners, including Carl Turner Architects, Platform 5 Architects, Studio Octopi and Ben Adams Architects.
