From a sustainable housing scheme to an incredible theatre restoration, the winners of the bi-annual Haringey Design Awards of 2018 were announced at our annual ceremony to celebrate the very best creations in the borough.
The Alexandra Palace Theatre was the big winner, taking both the ‘Best Restoration’ crown as well as ‘Overall Winner’ award.
It was referred to as the People’s Palace and the birthplace of television, while the architects, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, were commended for their “sensitive and intelligent restoration” of the theatre. The judges commended the design strategy based on the concept of “arrested decay” which created “architectural poetry”.
Winners in the other categories were:
- Best House – Harvey Road (Erbar Mattes Architects)
- Best Construction – Highgate Junior School (Architype Architects)
- Best Residential – Pinnacle N10 (PH+ Architects)
- Best Non Residential – TEN87 Studios (KVIST Ltd)
- Best Restoration – Alexandra Palace Theatre (Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios)
- Best Conceptual Project –Tottenham Hale Green and Open Spaces Strategy (Kinnear Landscape Architects)
- Best Urban Design – Woodside Square (Pollard Thomas Edwards Architects)
- Best Regeneration – Blue House Yard (Jan Kattein Architects)
The shortlist contained 25 of the borough’s best buildings from the last two years. Categories were judged by an independent panel.
Councillor Joseph Ejiofor, Leader of Haringey Council, said: “We were very lucky to have so many good examples of exciting and innovative design to choose from. Creativity in Haringey is something to be celebrated and all these projects have had a positive impact on our borough. Well done to everyone involved.”
