🙏Thank you to all who attended the Society awards last night, in the presence of the mayor - and congratulations to the 🏆 winners, commended projects and all the nominees.

As the mayor and other speakers said, the evening was a celebration of all that’s good about our city.

The awards are a tribute to the hard work and dedication of architects, designers, builders and owners at a time when it is hard to get well-designed projects accepted and completed.

🏡 Start designing and building now for our next awards in 2028! 🏛️
