SULTAN NAZRIN SHAH CENTRE WINS RIBA AWARDS

MAY 2018

Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre Wins RIBA Awards

We are delighted that our project Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre has won one of this year’s RIBA Regional Awards and the RIBA South Building of the Year. The project for Worcester College was won through a competition in 2013 and provides a new auditorium, dance space, seminar rooms, an e-hub and ancillary facilities on a site overlooking the spectacular Worcester College sports field.

The judges commented “To not only preserve but enhance this context would require a building of assured calm and grace. It would need to use materials with a tactile gravitas and be imbued with a timelessness which would make it feel as if it had always been there and need never leave. The Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre does all this and more.”

Peter Salter Reviews Bishop Edward King Chapel

The April edition of the Architectural Review features an article on the Bishop Edward King Chapel, written by Peter Salter. The article contains images by Dennis Gilbert, with a detailed view of the branched timber structure on the magazine’s cover. The review describes the Chapel as a “subtle synthesis of nature and the sacred” with Salter concluding that the project is a reflective and sensitive response to the “spiritual challenge of this commission.”
