Projects in challenging environments triumph at Galvanizing Awards

Posted on by in News

1. Heron Court in Thamesmead

Winners of the eighteenth annual Galvanizing Awards, announced at a ceremony held at the Royal Aeronautical Society, London were all traditional structures located in challenging locations.

There were five winners with Heron Court in Thamesmead [1], south east London picking up the Architecture Award. The project by Bell Philips Architects is situated in an area long vilified for its rapidly built council housing. The judges said the use of galvanized metal frames and stairwells are a joy to behold as well as producing a sublime combination with the timber cladding.

LSI Architects’ use of galvanized steel in combination with timber for a house on a flood plain in the Norfolk Broads [2] was enough to win it this year’s Sustainability Award.

The other winning projects were Elder and Cannon’s Housing Association offices in Glasgow [3] which won the Detail Award; Daragh and Muldowney’s Clongriffin Dart Station in Dublin [4], winner of the Duplex Award; and the Exposure statue [5] (See also SSDA Awards page 16) which won the Engineering Award.

Jan-Carlos Kucharek of RIBA Journal and a member of the judging panel, said: “Galvanizing, highly suited to use in more robust and unforgiving environments, is constantly challenged to prove its mettle, and in various ways this year’s winners do exactly that.”
