As champange corks popped and the good times rolled, they also saw The Crown Estate’s AirW1 collect the prestigious Building Magazine Project of the Year accolade; Airstudio named architectural practice of the year; Crossrail named client of the year; and Sir Robert McAlpine collect the large contractor of the year award.
