RETAIL & LEISURE PROJECT OF THE YEAR SHORTLIST
ARUP: INTERNATIONAL QUARTER LONDON (IQL)
At the heart of a 22-acre development, the Pavillion provides a gateway between the International Quarter and the Queen Elizabeth Park. Situated over the Woolwich Line tunnels, only a timber building would be light enough to not overload the bridge structure. Showcasing the construction benefits of mass timber, the striking architecture was achievable with glue-laminating timber into the required shapes and CNC cutting of CLT panels to fit the ‘stingray’ geometry of the frame below.
B&K STRUCTURES & BINDERHOLZ: LEEDS SKELTON LAKE SERVICES
Leeds Skelton Lake Services is a ‘new concept’ for motorway services providing a healthy, light and airy environment for motorists to rest and recoup. The key design element of the scheme is the dynamic, undulating living-roof. Beneath this curvilinear roof form, whilst appearing to be separate from it, sit the Facilities Building complete with RSPB viewing platform and a 100-bedroom Ramada hotel. Internally, the clear span created by the hybrid roof structure results in a large, double height open plan central space, around which are arranged major branded food outlets.
ELLIOTT WOOD: HOXTON CINEMA
Elliott Wood was appointed to redevelop the Hoxton Cinema into a 3-screen cinema, restaurants and 18 flats. The project involved the construction of a new six storey building plus a new basement. The existing façade is retained and CLT frame was designed to form the structure above the 1st floor level. The material’s low embodied carbon was the driving factor behind the specification of CLT but was also chosen as it provided practical advantages over steel and concrete.
ELLIOTT WOOD: SANDS END ARTS AND COMMUNITY CENTRE
Sands End Arts and Community centre is a new community space in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The centre consists of a completely restored Edwardian Park keeper’s lodge surrounded by a newly built cluster of pavilions. The building is constructed using large-scale whitewood spruce cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels and glue-laminated beams. The timber use in the build is PEFC and EPD Cradle to grave certified. The centre’s façade is from a pale nougat brick made using 70% post processed ceramic waste.
OVE ARUP & PARTNERS: EBURY EDGE
Ebury Edge is a temporary work and community space at the heart of Westminster, providing affordable workspace and retail units, a cafe, community hall and public courtyard. As part of the redevelopment of Ebury Bridge Estate, Westminster City Council was keen to give the local community an immediate sign of the regeneration. The meanwhile buildings include a community hall, cafe and workspace and will be in place while the renewal of the estate progresses for about five years.

LOW ENERGY PROJECT OF THE YEAR
Category: Entries in this category should showcase in an understandable, measurable way how timber as a building material either structurally, externally or internally can be exploited to its maximum potential to drive forward the concept of low-carbon building design. Special emphasis will be placed on measuring embodied carbon and carbon reduction levels, use of certified timber, whole-life costs, the benefits of using Fabric First and Passivhaus principles and employing an integrated approach to sustainable and green building design.

GREENCORE CONSTRUCTION: SPRINGFIELD MEADOWS
We build houses to the Passivhaus energy performance standard, so use very little energy for heating & we provide lots of solar PV panels to generate electricity. These houses are more comfortable & healthier to live in as well as having the carbon benefits. Over the last 7 years, we’ve built 50+ houses. The economies of scale from our largest current project at Springfield Meadows has allowed us to develop our building system from zero-carbon, to Climate Positive.
HEWITT STUDIOS: THE BRUNEL CENTRE
Social mobility is at the core of SGS College’s mission. Students must feel inspired to stay in education, through campuses that feel like vibrant, working environments. The Brunel Centre was conceived as a demonstration of these principles. Cross-laminated timber sets a calming tone throughout the interior, its tactile surfaces ever-present in walls, soffits, stairs and beams. Externally, photovoltaic brise soleil pace along the southern elevation. These sculptural ‘wings’ showcase the college’s commitment to green energy, while nodding to the area’s world-leading aviation heritage.
LOWFIELD TIMBER FRAMES: SARN DEVELOPMENT
Commissioned to provide much needed council homes for social rent as part of the Council’s Corporate Improvement Plan ‘Vision 2025’. Lowfield Timber Frames designed, manufactured, and installed a Larsen Truss timber system for the development. Located in the centre of the popular rural village of Sarn, the 628m2 development comprises two-bedroom bungalows and two & threebedroom homes. Each is designed to offer affordable, environmentally sustainable accommodation for those on the Common Housing Register.
SNUG HOMES: FOREST ROAD SNUG HOME
The Forest Road SNUG home is the first of its kind: an offsite, custom-build, net zerocarbon home, built with the community that challenges the idea of what a ‘house’ is. The SNUG is the first house type designed and built by SNUG Homes and is a two-storey 44m2 1 bedroom, 1 person home. It has a small footprint to fit neatly into back gardens or leftover plots within existing urban areas, providing new homes within communities, helping support and regenerate these in ways that traditional development models do not.
