Stephen Proctor was invited to judge the RIBAJ and SterlingOSB Room within a Room ideas competition, which invites proposals for a portable, transformable workspace made from SterlingOSB in a room within a house or public building.

The winning entry - The Playwrights Retreat by Tom Gregory and Fraser Wallis accommodates both introverted study in the rooms 'closed' iteration and once opened becomes a small amphitheatre for conscious play.

Stephen Proctor noted its ‘small footprint but big effect; distancing itself from the real world and then dramatically unfolding into it’ whilst fellow judge architect Jan Kattein observed that it was the design that ‘most successfully sublimates the idea of solitary working with performative display’.
