Our 2024 awards winners

Very impressive project outcomes with minimal funding from charitable organisations and grants supported by volunteers.

Extensive research into previous useage and other examples of similar structures in order to devise innovative solutions and overcome complex challenges.

The fact that the RVR project team consisted so strongly of volunteers, as well as the very clear benefits that the project will have in the Kent & East Sussex area, meant that it just edged into the lead!

Royal HaskoningDHV – Southsea Coastal Scheme – Frontage 1: Long Curtain Moat

The judges were impressed by the project’s reduction of coastal flooding and erosion for 100 years and improved access to monuments and social spaces.

Also worth mentioning is the community scheme, engagement with local schools and university.

This scheme was developed around enhancing the environment, from tactical measures such as mitigating impacts of temporary site accommodation through to strategic measures such as a net-zero material usage aim.

The scheme was also developed and delivered in sympathy with the aesthetics of the surrounding, putting Form on a level with Function.
