Guernsey Design Awards

GUERNSEY DESIGN AWARDS 2022

Forest Farm

The shortlist for the Guernsey Design Awards 2022 has been announced. The bi-annual awards, which recognise outstanding design in our built environment, attracted entries that represent a broad spectrum of building projects.

For the judges, it was a difficult job whittling down the entries to the selection that have made the shortlist. Steve Powell, of main sponsor Norman Piette, said: “The judging panel is made up of representatives from a variety of disciplines within the architectural and building industries and, though we have guidelines of what to look for in a project and how it matches the brief, we all have very different perspectives. “Whilst this ensures that entries benefit from the broadest, and fairest range of opinions, it also means that reaching agreement isn’t easy, particularly when the standard of entries was so high. However, we now have a shortlist of 15 projects that demonstrate how well local architects rise to the challenge regardless of the size or budget of the build.”

In addition to the awards for the five categories there will be ‘The People’s Choice’ award which is voted for by the public. Voting for that category is now open and islanders can visit the website to view all of the shortlisted entries and pick their favourite.

A new award will also be presented this year, dedicated to the memory of Mitch Sneddon. An integral part of the awards since their inception, the former president of the Guernsey Society of Architects sadly passed away in December 2021.
