The Lord Mayor’s Prize is awarded this year to a project that has an impact much larger than its relatively small scale. The judges felt that it was an exemplar of skilled retrofit of an existing building combined with sensitive and highly sustainable new design. The project succeeds in demonstrating, in a practical and achievable ‘grass roots’ manner, how to address the challenges that society faces with regard to tackling climate change and other environmental issues, and adapting to new working patterns, by upgrading and exploiting the potential of the bountiful resource of our existing building stock.
