Historic restoration job awarded top spot among London buildings
19
LIGHTER, MORE AFFORDABLE AND EVEN STRONGER!
A successful restoration of 18th and 19th century buildings comprising Wilton’s Music Hall by Tim Ronalds Architects has won the capital’s biggest prize for architecture, the RIBA London Building of the Year Award. The restoration of was revealed as the winner of the award,
which is sponsored by Marley Eternit, at a ceremony on 3 May, alongside 36 winners in the RIBA London awards. The judges praised the atmosphere created in the restored Wilton’s as “seductive and unforgettable” with the architect’s skill being used to give areas of the building an “archaeological character.” The sensitive restoration project took nine years from start to
completion including raising funds and Wilton’s remained open to the public throughout the duration of the building work. Other projects among the winners named inclued a new home
for ravens at the Tower of London; a Japanese take on the London terraced house; and a new centre of excellence for brain research. The awards ceremony – attended by many of the capital’s top
architects and clients - was held at the Stirling Prize-shortlisted University of Greenwich Stockwell Street Building, which houses the University’s Architecture Department. There were a grand total of 181 entries for the RIBA London
awards this year with 68 schemes being shortlisted and visited by one of four expert juries. The fact that each shortlisted scheme has been visited and thoroughly examined is a key reason for the RIBA’s regional awards being widely regarded as the most rigorously judged awards scheme in the profession. Winners will now be considered for a RIBA National Award which will be announced on 6 July. The shortlist for the RIBA Stirling Prize will be drawn from the RIBA National Award-winning buildings later in the year. For a full list of winners in the regional RIBA London awards go to
