A few weeks after the Royal Institute of British Architects announced the winners of the 2015 regional London Award, the competition continues with the announcement of the National Award winners. Thirty-seven projects from throughout the UK including England, Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland made the cut.
'The RIBA National Awards provide a unique insight into UK construction, investment and design trends,' RIBA President Stephen Hodder said. New housing developments and educational facilities were at the forefront in this year's batch of National awardees, much to RIBA's delight, especially at a time when high-quality housing and school buildings are sorely lacking in the UK. The winners will be celebrated during a special event at the Serpentine Pavilion in London on July 8.
Here's a few of the winning projects:
↓ Abode, Great Kneighton, Cambridge by Proctor and Matthews Architects
↓ Darbishire Place, E1 by Niall McLaughlin Architects
↓ Alfriston School, Beaconsfield by Duggan Morris Architects
↓ Kew House, TW9 by Piercy&Company
↓ Dundon Passivhaus, Compton Dundon by Prewett Bizley Architects
↓ Flint House, Waddeston by Skene Catling de la Pena
↓ WWF-UK Headquarters Living Planet Centre, Woking by Hopkins Architects
↓ Foyles, WC2 by Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands
↓ Laurieston Transformational Area, Glasgow by Elder and Cannon Architects & Page Park Architects
↓ National Theatre (NT Future) by Haworth Tompkins
↓ Dalmunach Distillery by Archial Norr (Inverness Studio)
↓ NEO Bankside, SE1 by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners
↓ Sheffield Cathedral, New Main Entrance and reordering by Thomas Ford & Partners
From there, the National winners will get a chance to compete for the top RIBA Stirling Prize for the UK's best building of the year. RIBA will announce the shortlist on July 16, and the winner will be revealed at a special London event on October 15.
