AHMM’s transformation of the Grade II-listed 1 Finsbury Avenue has been presented with this year’s AJ Architecture Award for Workplace Project (10,000m2 and over).
Designed in the early 1980s by Arup Associates (Peter Foggo), 1 Finsbury Avenue was the first building in the Broadgate development and was listed in 2015.
The ‘Raw is More’ approach to the redevelopment of the building for British Land led the design team to make modest interventions, stripping back years of added decoration to reveal and celebrate the existing fabric of the building. Judges commented that ‘AHMM has clearly and sensitively dialled into the building’s unique history’ and ‘treats the existing with a lot of respect.’
The AJ Architecture Awards are organised by the Architects’ Journal and recognise excellence in architecture across building types and scales – read more about the winners here.
