A house designed around the needs of a resident with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) has been shortlisted for an architectural award.
The home in a Northamptonshire village is one of six projects to compete for this year's RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) awards for the East Midlands.
It was design by Greenaway Architecture with the expertise of MND specialists.
RIBA East Midlands jury chair Ian Bramwell said the sustainable house was "sensitively crafted to meet the very particular needs of their clients".
Those on the shortlist will be visited by a regional jury, and the winners will be announced this spring.
The winners of regional awards will then be considered for several of RIBA other awards and could be shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize – the UK’s best new building - which will be announced in October.
Properties in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire have also been shortlisted for the regional award.
