Concrete Society Awards 2023 shortlist 18.07.23

Three diverse AHMM projects have been shortlisted for a 2023 Concrete Society Award.

1 New Park Square in Edinburgh is the first landmark workplace project for the wider vision of a low carbon community of working, living and leisure at Edinburgh Park by developer Parabola. The building echoes this philosophy through robust long-lasting materials and low energy in-use, supported by the use of an exposed concrete frame.

10 Lewis Cubitt Square is a mixed-use building and a key part of the King’s Cross Masterplan, completing an area of the developing neighbourhood and complementing an established public realm. Its distinctive aggregated pre-cast concrete façade forms a civic backdrop to the public realm and surrounding buildings. Beyond the façade, concrete technologies are used throughout – from the slip-form core to pre-cast plank floor construction and stair flights.

Tower Hamlets Town Hall involves the reinvention and extension of the Grade II listed former Royal London Hospital into the headquarters for the Council. The versatility of concrete has been harnessed in a variety of exciting, sustainable and innovative ways – both within the historic fabric and in the new build extension.
