HBA crowned Public Building Architect of the Year
3 November 2023
We are thrilled to have won the prestigious title of 'Public Building Architect of the Year' at Building Design Architect of the Year Awards 2023. This award comes exactly 10 years after winning the International Breakthrough Architect of the Year Award in 2013.
As the AYA awards recognise a body of work rather than a single project, it is a fantastic recognition of the consistently high quality we achieve with all our projects and a testament to the efforts and passion of the incredible team of people we have built over the years. It would take too long to recognise individually every single person who has made this achievement possible, but we would like to share the success with all our colleagues, clients and long-term consultants - we could not have done this without your contribution.
