Winner – Treadgolds, Nominated by Pritchard Architecture
Treadgolds is a Grade II listed Victorian time capsule, retaining a Dickensian feel with its dark shop full of nuts & bolts, fascinating fixtures, fittings and machinery.
The project involved the transformation of the existing Victorian Warehouse into a unique meeting and conference space. A new mezzanine floor provides an additional training and meeting space in this unique setting, serviced with a hospitality zone.
With a relatively small budget, the warehouse spaces were conserved and sensitively remodelled. The light touch approach to the design retains the historic fabric and essential character of the building with contemporary enhancements, creating a new layer of history and breathing new life into the local community.

Runner-up – Jim Clark Motorsport Museum, Nominated by Scottish Borders Council
A small budget and small site but no less significant an impact that some of our larger more expensive projects. This building is an example of collaborative working that has brought a new lease of life to a traditional, B Listed Georgian Villa and coach house. Enhanced by a double-height extension forming the new entrance, it is intentionally modest due to its rural setting and as a reflection of the character of Jim Clark, fuseing traditional materials (natural stone, slate & zinc) in a contemporary, yet subtle, manner.
The proof of good design has been how the public have been brought in to view a worthy collection of memorabilia and trophies won by Jim Clark during his career.
