Among the winners is Sheerness Dockyard Church by Hugh Broughton Architects, which was also named RIBA South East Building of the Year. The project involved the restoration and adaptation of a Grade II* listed church damaged by fire in 2001, and was recognised by the jury for its transformation into a new community facility. It also received the Conservation Award and Project Architect of the Year. The jury noted that the scheme had been “exquisitely restored and transformed” and praised the design team for demonstrating that “a historic building in an extreme state of decay can have a very good future”. The Brighton Dome Corn Exchange and Studio Theatre by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios was awarded both a regional award and RIBA South East Client of the Year for Brighton and Hove city council. The project involved the careful reconfiguration of two listed performance venues to create new arts spaces in the city’s cultural quarter.

The Spencer Building, a new low-carbon timber school building by Tim Ronalds Architects, received an award for its efficient use of space and daylight. Hastings House by Hugh Strange Architects, Sea, Sky House by Liddicoat & Goldhill, and Bury Gate Farm by Sandy Rendel Architects were all acknowledged for their residential design, materials handling and responses to their respective sites. In a statement, jury chair Lisa Shell said the region’s winning projects represented “a heartening direction in sustainable development within a region typically celebrated for new houses”, adding that “the majority involve the inventive re-use and conservation of existing structures”. Regional award winners will now be considered for a RIBA National Award, which will be announced on 10 July.  The shortlist for the RIBA Stirling Prize for the UK’s building of the year will be drawn from the RIBA National Award-winning projects later in the year. >> Also read: AHMM’s Tower Hamlets Town Hall wins RIBA London Building of the Year >> Also read: Let Queen Elizabeth II’s memorial serve the whole nation
