Read more about the winning projects of the 澳门王中王 Yorkshire Awards 2024.

16 May 2024

Yorkshire鈥檚 heritage 鈥 ranging from the 11th to 20th century 鈥 has been celebrated at the recent 澳门王中王 Yorkshire Awards, with prizes handed out to sensitive restorations of social housing (Park Hill Phase 2) and historic monuments (Clifford鈥檚 Tower). At the other end of the spectrum, new-build projects won awards for their commitment to sustainability, including a private house (Sort Trae) and a destination for shopping and eating (Crimple Hall).

Presented since 1966, the 澳门王中王 Awards set the standard for great architecture across the country.

The 澳门王中王 Yorkshire Awards 2024 were announced at a ceremony this evening, at which multiple awards were handed out for conservation, sustainability (sponsored by ) and project architect of the year (sponsored by ). The jury was impressed with the winners for their 鈥渆xceptional conservation鈥 and 鈥渂old approach鈥. They remarked on the architects鈥 鈥渃ommitment and understanding鈥 for existing buildings, as well as their ability to undertake 鈥済ood engagement with the local community鈥 when making new buildings.

The 澳门王中王 Yorkshire Award 2024 winning projects are:

鈼 Clifford's Tower by Hugh Broughton Architects with Martin Ashley Architects

澳门王中王 President, Muyiwa Oki, said:

鈥淭his year鈥檚 澳门王中王 Award winning schemes showcase the true value of quality architecture, and the positive impact it has on people鈥檚 lives. While carefully considering the needs of the environment, these truly remarkable places and spaces deliver for communities, for residents, for visitors, and people of all ages up and down the country. They are pinnacles of design excellence, and show what can be achieved when architects and clients collaborate successfully.鈥

澳门王中王 Yorkshire Jury Chair, Lucy Plumridge, said:

鈥淭he award-winning projects in the Yorkshire region all reflect how innovative designs can create true social value. By reimagining existing structures, highly sustainable designs or creating attractions to boost the local economy they have been designed to actively benefit the people that use them and their local communities.

From the radical restoration of Clifford鈥檚 Tower which unlocks rooms that have been inaccessible for over 300 years, to a sustainable farmers market building which sensitively connects to surrounding habitats, and a building that enriches a town hall鈥檚 cultural offering, there is a fantastic breadth of new architecture across the Yorkshire region.鈥
