The tenth British Home Awards took place in October this year.

The British Home Awards are currently in partnership with The Sunday Times, and celebrate the best in contemporary design.

This year, the Awards received almost 300 entries in 21 categories.

Philip Swinden, managing director of Haymarket Business Media, said:“The addition of BHA into our portfolio brings together two sectors whose passion is for excellence in making the places we live and work better.

"Our Live Events team already run some of the largest B2B awards programmes in creative industries around media and design including Media Week, PRWeek and Landscape Design. Our publishing teams serve the Design/UK housing sector through Planning, Placemaking Resource and Planning for Housing, so we are exceptionally well-positioned to take these awards to the next level, building the portfolio of events, content and creative solutions specific for built environment sector’s needs."

Mark Gazzard, awards director at Tee to Green Marketing, said: “When I launched the British Homes Awards in 2007, there were 10 award categories alongside the design competition; since then the number of award categories has doubled.

“This year also sees the addition to the line-up of the Manser Medal, recognising innovation in one-off house design. This special prize gives me particular pleasure, as it highlights the contribution to these awards made by the inaugural chair of the judging panel, the respected architect Michael Manser. The awards are bigger and better than ever for 2016. They will continue to evolve to reflect innovation and excellence in UK home design, under the guidance of Haymarket Business Media. I look forward to continuing to work with Haymarket to help them grow this event.”
