Britain's Best Architects
|
|
If you have an important building project, large or small, and want to include some outstanding British architects in your short list, this is the place to start.
Our list of Britain's Best Architects is made up of those
firms which have in the last ten years won three or more RIBA Awards for UK
projects. |
There are currently only 63 such firms, out of more than 3,000 RIBA Chartered Architectural Practices in the UK. There is a page for each on this website.
This week's featured practice: Niall McLaughlin Architects . Inventive use of building materials, qualities of light, and relationship to surroundings.
The twenty most frequently visited architect's pages on this website are, in order of frequency: Hawkins Brown, Ash Sakula, Twenty Two Over Seven, Allies & Morrison, Emrys Architects, Nicholas Hare Architects, Niall McLaughlin, James Gorst, Avanti Architects, Simon Conder, Julian Harrap, Walters Cohen, Henley Halebrown Rorrison, Hopkins Architects, MJP Architects, AHMM, DRMM, Feilden Clegg Bradley, Sarah Wigglesworth, John McAslan.
We describe as Blockbusters those practices which have won at least ten RIBA Design Awards for UK projects in the last ten years. They are listed here.
Our selection of Britain's Best Architects is based on the RIBA Awards scheme. This is only one measure of design quality, but it is we believe a reasonably good one. It has been run continuously by the Royal Institute of British Architects since 1966, and is widely regarded as the 'gold standard' of contemporary British architecture.
To help you find Britain's Best Architects who have in the last ten years won an award relevant to your project, we have compiled separate lists for 28 building types. This produces for each building type a manageable number of firms for you to consider. Please click on the 28 lists below.
The list is not intended to be exclusive, and we would urge you also to consider for inclusion in your short list local firms and younger firms which may not be included in our list. The RIBA publishes a complete online directory of RIBA Chartered Practices here.
Although this website is primarily intended as a service to clients, we hope it
will be of value to everyone with an interest in modern British architecture.
