Architect of the Year
The firms that raise the roof
Offices and education proved the most recession-proof at this year’s awards
Richard Feilden Architect of the Year - Eric Parry Architects
The award for the "best of the best" is for a body of work that has made a significant contribution to architecture in the last year
Young Architect of the Year - David Kohn Architects
David Kohn opened his presentation to the Young Architect of the Year jury with reference to Isaiah Berlin’s essay The Hedgehog and the Fox.
Public Building Architect of the Year - Rick Mather Architects
Rick Mather has produced some of the best designs for public buildings and the urban realm in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, said the judges
Sports & Leisure Architect of the Year - Marks Barfield
The quality of design in sport and leisure projects is more evident in a category that has relatively simple programmatic imperatives and constraints
Healthcare Architect of the Year - Allford Hall Monaghan Morris
AHMM’s healthcare work represents a continuation of the social and architectural ideals of British modernism, in which a progressive approach to healthcare is supported by an equally progressive architecture
Housing Architect of the Year (1-25 units) - Stephen Taylor Architects
Stephen Taylor’s architecture has an understated quality
One-off House Architect of the Year - Eldridge Smerin
The jury was unanimous in selecting Eldridge Smerin for this award because of the diversity and consistency of the practice’s work. While the Highgate Cemetery house is clearly iconic, in isolation, it could be dismissed as a high-budget, one-hit wonder
Transport Architect of the Year - John McAslan & Partners
The judges were impressed by the diversity and consistent high quality of the work from John McAslan & Partners
Schools Architect of the Year - Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios
The judging of this category was discussed at length because the standard was very high, but Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios stood out through the clarity of its plans, which communicated a strong and clear intent
Client of the Year - Peter Millican
There have been some remarkable buildings this year that are the direct result of passionate and dedicated clients.
Office Architect of the Year - Eric Parry Architects
Eric Parry’s work is well known for its intelligence and architectural quality. What shines out in several speculative buildings, including the Stirling-shortlisted Aldermanbury Square, is the inventiveness of approach where each building is distinctive and well related to its urban context
Housing Architect of the Year (over 25 units) - Riches Hawley Mikhail
Affordable housing is a sector sorely in need of innovation. In Riches Hawley Mikhail it has at last found an architect capable of taking on that challenge
World Architect of the Year - John McAslan & Partners
The shortlist displayed only a small proportion of the huge number of impressive buildings that are designed by UK architects around the world. Our winner stood out in particular for the strong connection that was evident between the architecture, the place and the people
