Many impressive buildings opened in the UK in 2018, from big hitters like the V&A Dundee and Coal Drops Yard, to smaller projects like Studio's Weave's Belvue School and Peter Zumthor's Secular Retreat. For our review of 2018, architecture reporter India Block picks the top 10.

Belvue School, London, by Studio Weave
Studio Weave created this school in the woods for children with learning difficulties, showing how a learning space can be connected to nature.
A scalloped roofline creates airy, wood-lined interiors, while sliding doors open the classrooms out to the nature reserve that the school manages.

Coal Drops Yard, London, by Heatherwick Studio
Heatherwick Studio was behind this transformation of a pair of disused 19th-century coal warehouses behind King's Cross Station, which has given London a new shopping destination. The roofs of the two buildings now extend out and touch one another. They are clad with slate tiles quarried from the same Welsh mine as one on the original roof.

Old Shed New House, North Yorkshire, by Tonkin Liu
A barn in the Yorkshire countryside was stripped down to its structure and rebuilt to form this family home.
Designed by architecture studio Tonkin Liu, the house features a double-height library. The exterior is clad in shot-blasted timber, to echo the glade of silver birches that surrounds it.
