Nevill Holt Opera by Witherford Watson Mann Architects was nominated for the 2019 Stirling Prize. The new theatre occupies a former courtyard space in an existing building on the site. Located on a listed estate in the English hamlet Nevill Holt, the building seeks to echo the "imaginative space of opera" by challenging the typical aesthetic of a theatre. Witherford Watson Mann's theatre is built directly within the former stable yard, which is surrounded by stables on all four sides. These buildings have been retained and filled with rough, textured interior finishes in a nod to the former use.
