AN ARCHITECTURE firm with offices in Winchester has reported a stellar week taking home three awards from the USA and two in the UK.

In Texas, Hyde Street-based Adam Architecture and its urban design branch, Adam Urbanism, was handed a Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) Charter Award for its Aldershot town extension project Wellesley, and a merit award for the new pavilion portico at The Oval cricket ground – the only two awards of 11 to be handed to UK projects.

The pavilion portico was also awarded in the travel and leisure category of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) London Awards, which also saw the firm presented with a Highly Commended award for the new housing at Bentley Priory in Middlesex, in the residential category.

The final award of the week took place in New York at the Practice by the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art (ICAA). They were handed The Arthur Ross Award 2015 in recognition for outstanding achievement in the classical architecture tradition.

Director, Paul Hanvey, said: “This is a great honour for us all. Receiving all these awards in one week, from eminent organisations in the UK and the US is most unusual, and a clear appreciation of classical architecture and urban design in the UK and overseas. We are all extremely proud that our work has been recognised in this way.”
