Our project The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art has won one of this year’s NLA Award in the Built Education category. The New London Awards recognise the very best in architecture, planning and development in the capital. 30 projects were announced as winners at the awards which were held at the Guildhall and was attended by the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan who gave the keynote speech.
We have received planning approval and Listed Building Consent for the restoration and extension to Auckland Castle in Co. Durham. The project involves repairs and alterations to the existing listed buildings, a new museum extension and a visitor reception building facing the town square. Given the high sensitivity of this unique site, the planning process took almost one year, involving a very constructive dialogue with English Heritage and Durham County Council. The designs had overwhelming support from local people.
