peeling finishes, the smell of industrial steel, and a strong sense of ‘brokenness’. The
roughness and simplicity of the era can be seen in the original water tanks andcanisters, which have been transformed into a restaurant, office and VIP space.

Stevns Klint Experienceby Tinker Imagineers
The Stevns Klint area, on the Danish south coast, is one of the best places in the world
to see traces of the asteroid that caused a mass extinction 66 million years ago and is a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. There, in the old lime quarry of Boesdal, the Stevns Klint
Experience has emerged as a world-class attraction, both architecturally and as anexperience for visitors. International design agency Tinker Imagineers wascommissioned to develop an exhibition about the extinction, its effects, and thescientific discovery of the traces left by the asteroid. The exhibition includes animmersive film about the dramatic extinction and the survival of life on Earth is playing.
The images are partly projected on a huge cut out of the cliff with the Fish Clay layer inthe middle. Here, visitors can see up close where and how the asteroid left its traces.
Elsewhere the whole story leading up to extinction is told chronologically. Visitors are
led through from what the world looked like 66 million years ago, when dinosaurs wereroaming the earth with our ancestor mammals, to the time when the asteroid hit the
Earth.

Abrahamic Family House
by Maynard Design Consultancy
Abrahamic Family House is a centre for learning and dialogue dedicated to fostering
peaceful interfaith coexistence, located in the Saadiyat Cultural District of Abu Dhabi.
Three striking cubic buildings house a mosque, a church and a synagogue, all within asingle complex 6,500sqm site and with wayfinding in three languages (Arabic, English
and Hebrew). Each architectural structure is simultaneously equal in volume anddimension but is shaped individually. For the sign products Maynard Design
Consultancy had to pay the same attention to equality of language, ensuring that no
implied hierarchy could be seen across multilingual messages. The wayfinding
products feature durable materials that were strategically selected for in-built
longevity. Flexible sign products were selected where information (such as prayer
times) might need to be regularly updated. Processes were selected to reduce waste
and minimise visual clutter; religious iconography was engraved into the concrete andlimestone surfaces, for example, showcasing design integration with the architecturallandscape. The end-result is a sensitive reflection of the rich diversity of the site, united
beneath shared human values.

West Endby HLW International
The now shuttered Westside Pavilion in West Los Angeles was given new life as acreative office campus, with the former Macy’s building acting as the catalyst. Tasked
with the transformation of the former department store, HLW reimagined the expansive
floor plate to suit a range of tenants, from the media and technology industries to thefinancial sector. HLW’s radical adaptive reuse plan for the site repurposes the building
infrastructure in an environmentally responsible way, whilst also integrating it into theurban fabric. Maintaining the main architectural features and integrity of the existing
structure, the building was sliced by a courtyard with the resulting two halves
reconnected by open lobbies that create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. What
was once a hermetically sealed box is now a visible hub of activity that brings new life
to a prominent urban corner.

Spotify Singapore officeby M. Moser Associates
Addressing exponential growth in the Asia Pacific, Spotify needed an immersive anddynamic office space to embody its playful culture. Spotify approached M Moser todesign an office space that not only achieves these qualities, but also addresses its
mission to unlock the potential of human creativity. The design of Spotify’s Singapore
office is direct and mindful of the company’s role as a media creation platform andtakes advantage of having two floors to separate public and private working
environments. On the first level, the spacious work lounge and semi-private café are
multi-functional and inviting, where they host a stage area for internal and external
events, creating a space that attracts industry talent. The second, hosts the private
workplace: an environment addressing Spotify’s aspiration to allow passionate andinnovative people to work at their very best. The space is conducive for collaborationand focus work and includes a library, team zones, and numerous meeting rooms eachwith distinct visual identities.

Group Headquarters
by Piercy & Company
Boston Consulting group (BCG) works globally to solve complex societal and businesschallenges, but this project was a problem closer to home: to design its new London
headquarters. Commissioning design studio Piercy & Company in a people-led design
process for the new flagship office, the design studio drew inspiration from their clientand spent six months embedded at BCG’s existing offices, seeking to resolve anothercomplex question: where do people do their best work? Through deep research andinquiry, four essential elements emerged: variety, comfort, flexibility and community.
The resulting scheme responds holistically and extensively to these challenges,
pushing the bounds of what’s possible to truly reflect the BCG ethos and become an
example for future offices.

Mayfield Park, Manchester
by Studio Egret West

Repton Gardens(residential amenities)by The Manser PracticeArchitects + Designers
Repton Gardens is a large Built to Rent scheme in Wembley named after Humphry
Repton, one of the last great landscape designers of the eighteenth century and often
regarded as the successor to Capability Brown. Briefed by client Quintain Living, The
Manser Practice Architects + Designers has designed the communal areas of the
project, such as residential lounges, lobbies, a gym, bar, and games room, as well as a
dramatic staircase leading up through a triple height space to podium level gardens.
The interiors of all these areas draws inspiration from the work of Humphry Repton,with a botanical theme that utilises an abundance of planting, timber, and other natural
materials such as wood wool ceilings and Foresso; a sustainable surface recycled fromtimber offcuts. Superfluous finishes were avoided, with a polished concrete floor,
exposed services, and hardwearing furniture to ensure longevity. The scheme includes
a dedicated work from home space that residents can rent on a short- or long-termbasis: a new concept for the build to rent sector and one that came about owing to the
Covid 19 pandemic.

6 Babmaes Street
by Fathom Architects
Responding to the changing nature of work in cities, 6 Babmaes Street is a newconcept in workspace primarily for wellbeing and social interaction rather thandesk-based tasks. Fathom Architects had an innovative brief: to provide social andcollaborative space for The Crown Estate’s office’s. Its response was to design forhuman interaction and provide a relaxed and welcoming space with areas for people
to recharge, connect and socialise. The project imaginatively repurposes a disused
1970’s building, which celebrates the existing raw concrete shell and combining it withfinely crafted interiors has created a characterful urban sanctuary with a variety ofspaces for people to relax away from their desks. The completion of 6 Babmaes Street
has had a direct impact on lettings in the area, with potential customers citing it as an
unrivalled asset in the market.

OF THE YEAR

WINNER

MorganMorgan is a pioneering, family-founded British business,
proudly dedicated to the design and manufacturing of highend, contemporary furniture for design-conscious contractclients around the world. It has a long manufacturing history,
which is in the hands of current owners Rodney and Katerina,
who purchased it in 1992 believing they could bring something
new to the world of British design and manufacture. Katerina,
a graduate of the RCA, took on all product design, branding
and marketing roles and immediately set about creating a
new direction for the company. Despite excellent residual
goodwill from the past, it took many years of new products toestablish the company’s independent and particular style ofproduct which is focussed on timber and relentlessly on British
manufacture at a time when outsourcing would have been theeasier and cheaper option. Keeping skills in Britain and building
them inhouse allowed for tight control of design aesthetic andof costs and, as has now become of overriding importance,sustainability, and good environmental practices.
Their high profile projects include The British Library, British
Airways, the BBC and Wimbledon amongst others

They have commissioned and collaborated with many highprofile amd unknown designers to add to their manufacturing
product range who are conscious of both their aesthetic andenvironmental impact to which Morgan is committed. ‘We are acollective of detailed-led teams, with a deep love for design’.

Hugh Pearman

Sponsored by

SARAH M LEE

Immersed in the world of architecture and design for some
45 years, Hugh Pearman has worked as a critic writing forboth professional and consumer titles, as a magazine editor,
occasional talking head on TV and radio, and as an author ofbooks. Even launching architecture awards and lending a voice
to campaigns to save significant buildings, he has carved acareer and reputation as a leading voice in the design industry
from an independent viewpoint: ‘I am neither an architect nor adesigner.’
A contributor to numerous print and broadcast media in the
UK and internationally, including Royal Academy magazine andArchitectural Record, Pearman was editor of the RIBA Journal
until December 2020; an editorship he had for some 14 years.
He was an architecture, design and art critic for The Sunday
Times, 1986-2016, and co-founder of the annual RIBA Stirling
Prize for Architecture.
His books titles include Cullinan Studio in the 21st Century(Lund Humphries, September 2020); Airports – a century ofarchitecture (Laurence King, 2004); and most recently: About
Architecture: an essential guide in 55 buildings (Yale, June 2023
which has received rave reviews from key figures in architecture,art, press and critics alike:‘Hugh Pearman’s keen eye and encyclopaedic knowledge
combine to make a book with universal appeal—as fascinating fora lay audience, as for those who study or practice architecture.
It is a lightning tour of history—a sheer delight!’—Norman Foster.
‘For those wanting a foundation course in architecture,[Pearman’s] book is perfect, and sure to stimulate extensive
further study of an art form that embraces us wherever we go.’—Simon Heffer, The Telegraph‘A treasury of possibilities. . .We come away with the sensethat everything ought to—and can—be designed well, even themost ordinary of buildings.’—Sheehan Quirke, The Critic‘Sitting at the intersection of art and science, the history ofbuildings is really the history of people, and Hugh Pearman
deftly brings that history to life.’—Maria Balshaw, director, Tate
Galleries
His influence has undoubtedly shaped today’s understandingof design and architecture and delivered it to a far wider world
than just our industry. It is a great privilige for FX to recognise an
outstanding critic and journalist for our most prestigious award.
