"Mole Architects is one of the most critically acclaimed contemporary architecture practises working in Britain today. Founded by Meredith Bowles in 1996, the practice has won a number of awards, the most significant of which is the RIBA Manser Medal, awarded to Mole in 2004 for the design of a house in Cambridgeshire (the Manser Medal is awarded for the best one-off house by an architect in the UK). Mole Architects are particularly interested in producing designs appropriate for their local context, combining traditional materials and techniques with a more contemporary attitude to design and building."- The Modern House 2009
