On Monday night our team was delighted to pick up a RIAS Award for Kinning Park Complex!

“When the Kinning Park Neighbourhood Centre was threatened with closure in 1996, the local community fought hard for its survival. Now owned by the community itself, the Edwardian building has been inventively brought back to life as a joyful and colour-filled building, packed with activity. The judges commended the architects’ “community first” approach, and how careful listening has led to a cost-effective and discreet series of interventions that maximise social value and community benefit.”

You can find the full list of winners here: RIAS Award winners revealed, Scotland’s National Architecture Awards and read further coverage at: RIBA Journal, Scottish Construction Now, BD Online, Urban Realm and Architect’s Journal.

Congratulations to the other winners and to everyone who made it onto a strong shortlist with a focus on redevelopment, retrofit and social capital.
