On 15 November, at the Building Design Architect of the Year Awards, Stanton Williams were awarded Architect of the Year Gold Award. Project architect, Gavin Henderson commented ‘the judges commented that the two projects in our submission were “..two of the most impressive buildings built in the UK over the past 12 months.” The awards clearly reflect more than just our input as architects, but the skill, commitment and dedication of the whole Project Team!’ Alan Stanton wrote ‘thanks so much for the vital contribution in the furniture’.
Luke Hughes and Company was appointed to work closely with Stanton Williams to design and procure all the furniture, most of which is bespoke. The project has been a perfect example of one of the tenets of Luke Hughes’s design philosophy, that in any quality building, the connection between the architecture and the furniture should be seamless. The contract was worth almost £750K.
