Regional Jury Chair, Roger Hawkins of Hawkins Brown, said of this year’s Award-winners: “There’s a huge diversity in the range of award winners this year, from a humble, but beautifully designed Bird Hide, nestled four miles down a single track road in Driffield, to a sympathetically restored and conserved majestic Piece Hall and local library in Halifax, showing that good architecture is possible on many different scales. It’s also great to see so many regional practices on this years’ list.”
