First a Sterling Award 2014 for The Everyman Theatre in Liverpool, from CDB founder Katy Marks&rsquo; time at <a href="http://archinect.com/firms/cover/4735/haworth-tompkins" target="_blank">Haworth Tompkins Architects</a>, and then two fresh World Interiors Awards: Best Leisure and Entertainment Venue, again with Haworth Tompkins, and Best Bar for the Royal Court, with <a href="http://archinect.com/lyndongoode" target="_blank">Lyndon Goode Architects</a>. This is no ostentatious display: these are hard-won trophies for an architect with a visionary, warrior-like approach to contemporary practice.</p>
