A London gallery designed to house the private collection of notorious artist Damien Hirst has scooped this year\u2019s Royal Institute of British Architects Stirling Prize. Caruso St John\u2019s building, defined by striking brick facades and a distinctive sawtooth roof, beat out five other standout projects to the prize, including Herzog & de Meuron<\/a>\u2019s Blavatnik School of Government, Wilkinson Eyre Architects<\/a>\u2019 Weston Library and Trafalgar Place, a high-density housing development by dRMM Architects<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is the first time Caruso St John Architects has won the RIBA Stirling Prize; the firm was short-listed for the award for Brick House, west London, in 2006 and New Art Gallery Walsall in 2000. The Stirling Prize judges called the firm\u2019s work \u201ca bold and confident contribution to the best of U.K. architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCaruso St John\u2019s approach to conservation is irreverent yet sensitive and achieves a clever solution that expresses a poetic juxtaposition of old and new,\u201d they said. Keep scrolling for a visual tour of this year\u2019s winning project.<\/p>\n
