We were thrilled to pick up the prestigious Sir Bernard Fielden Conservation Architecture Award at last night’s Norwich Society Design Awards. The award recognises excellence in alterations and restoration of an historical building and was awarded for our refurbishment of Boardman House for Norwich University of the Arts. This month also saw our Groundwork gallery project in King’s Lynn collect the Nick Reeves Award for Arts and Environment, which celebrates an outstanding contribution in the field of environmental arts and praised the project’s design and ambitious scope. Judges commented that the gallery is “an inspirational model for other projects in this country and abroad.”
