Secular Retreat by Peter Zumthor and Mole Architects for Living Architecture

More than 50 projects have today been handed a RIBA National Award and now go forward to vie for a place on the Stirling shortlist.

Haworth Tompkins and Mole picked up three apiece – the former for Battersea Arts Centre, Bristol Old Vic and Cambridge’s Peter Hall Performing Arts Centre. Mole was honoured for two housing projects in Cambridge and Living Architecture’s Secular Retreat which it designed with Peter Zumthor.

“Despite the political and economic challenges of recent years, our 2019 RIBA National Award winners show that UK architecture is highly adaptable, immensely talented and as community-focused as ever,” he said.

“I am particularly heartened that more than one third (20 of 54) of our winners have creatively adapted existing buildings. Given the scale of the global environmental challenge, we must encourage sustainable development and investment in buildings of the highest quality – projects that will inspire and meet the needs of generations to come.

“At a time when the country is crying out for innovative, high-quality affordable housing, I am pleased we have been able to recognise some exemplar schemes. I encourage all local authorities and developers to look to these projects for inspiration and rise to the challenge of building the homes people want and need.

“Our 2019 RIBA National Award-winning buildings are innovators and mould-breakers – congratulations to every client, architect and construction team for their combined talent and tenacity.”
