The Portland Collection wins RIBA National Award
23 June 2016
The Portland Collection has been announced as the recipient of an RIBA National Award 2016. All award-winning projects will now be considered for this year's Stirling Prize.
The project has been praised for the way it nestles delicately within a cluster of existing buildings as well as the integration of existing stone walls with a simple palette of materials that blends into its historic context.
Judges commented: "...the building creates a subtle design that sits perfectly in the grounds of the Grade 1 listed Welbeck Abbey, integrating new and historic elements with a careful selection of materials and crisp detailing to create a highly sophisticated design".
Earlier this year the project was also crowned 'RIBA East Midlands Project of the Year'.

The pump house is part of a broader project to ensure water security across the gardens and demonstrates a commitment to the institution’s environmental sustainability goals.

For the second year running we came away from BD's Architect of the Year Awards with an amazing accolade, winning the title of 'Creative Conservation Architect of the Year' against some very stiff opposition.
Our entry comprised the recently completed projects for the restoration of Sheerness Dockyard Church and the transformation of Clifford's Tower in York, alongside our ongoing project for archaeological protective shelters at Nea Paphos in Cyprus.
