BCI Awards shortlist 2023 29.06.23

Three AHMM projects have been shortlisted for the 2023 British Construction Industry Awards.

Soho Place, an urban jigsaw of two new mixed-use building framing a new civic plaza, has been shortlisted for Commercial Property of the Year. Designed for developer Derwent London, the north building houses 33,000 square feet of retail space across three storeys and 191,000 square feet of office accommodation across nine storeys; whilst the south building contains the first new-build West End theatre to open in 50 years with 18,000 square feet of independent office space with superb views across London above.

The Rowe, the refurbishment and extension of the former London Metropolitan School of Art, Architecture and Design has been shortlisted for Commercial Property of the Year. Creating over 150,000 square feet of office space this scheme, designed for Frasers Property, adds an equal volume above an existing six storey building with the tension between old and new highlighted by an inhabited gap, marked by a playful piece of public art by Yinka Ilori visible from the street to create a visual break.

Magna Square, a new mixed-use development in the Runnymede borough of Surrey has been shortlisted for Residential Property of the Year. Designed for Places for People, four mixed-use buildings combine new retail, leisure, residential and student accommodation, around a pedestrianised public realm, creating a gateway from Egham Station to the town centre.

Winners will be announced at the annual awards ceremony on 11 October 2023. Read more about the awards and shortlist here.
