It was a proud evening for us at the BD Architect of the Year Awards, with our work shortlisted across several categories.

We were delighted to be named Retail and Leisure Architect of the Year, recognising our work on Woolwich Waves, Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, Mundy Park Pool, and the Sport Ireland National Velodrome and Badminton Centre.

Together, these projects demonstrate the breadth of our retail and leisure work across the world, and our commitment to reimagining places that bring people together to move, participate and connect.

"For us, successful retail and leisure design brings together the practical demands of a building with the quality of the everyday experience. We’re proud to receive this award, which reflects the ambition and commitment of our clients, partners and team in bringing these projects to life.”
