Peter Barber sweeps the board as RIBA London Award winners revealed

Peter Barber Architects has swept the board at the RIBA London Awards, picking up four trophies for its housing projects.

The practice was closely followed by AHMM which won three of the regional awards.

Glenn Howells Architects took the award for London Building of the Year for its new home for the English National Ballet.

In all, 46 projects were selected by the jury after visiting all 77 shortlisted projects.

They range from Denizen Works’ floating church to Tottenham Hotspur’s new 60,000-seat stadium designed by Populous.

They will now be considered for a RIBA National Award on September 9. The shortlist for the Stirling Prize is drawn from the winners of the national awards.

London jury chair Alfonso Padro, principal and director of education at HKS’s London office, said: “The shortlisted projects were of exceptional quality and generated much debate among the expert panellists which in part focused on sustainability and looking ahead to the creation of local community cohesion.

“The challenges of the past year required the judging panel to be creative with their deliberations and entailed several meetings to ensure projects were debated thoroughly and fairly.”
