  • Extension to St Benedict’s Priory, Salisbury

    Type: Commendation

    This extension was considered to be best treated as a new building in its own right, and to be appraised in terms of its own success and its contributions to its surroundings, rather than specifically in relation to the rather ordinary 1960s house to which it has been added. The judges were impressed by the […]

  • Old Sarum Community Centre, Salisbury

    Type: Commendation

    The increasingly extensive area of housing development at Old Sarum tends to be viewed as somewhat lacking in design merit, and the judges were delighted to find that the community centre bucks this trend, and contributes something of genuine visual merit, while still amply fulfilling its basic purpose.

The use of two very different materials, a buff-coloured brick […]

  • Stonehenge Visitor Centre

    Type: Award

    LORD CONGLETON AWARD   The visitor centre clearly had the potential to seriously compromise the character of the Stonehenge world heritage site if it had been handled unwisely. The judges’ visit convinced them that in fact both the design approach to the new building, and its detailed execution, were of the highest quality. The low […]
