We are delighted to confirm that our project, St Albans Place in Leeds City Centre has won two awards recently, notably the RIBA Building of the Year Award and RIBA Regional Award. The nomination was submitted by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios who were the architects on the project.
St Albans was the first VITA development in Leeds and it is a 7, 11 and 18 storey serviced apartment building which brings a sense of home and belonging to its residents.
The judges said “The viability of most student accommodation schemes demands large numbers of bedrooms and this scheme has skilfully broken down the large mass and added interest to the skyline. The scheme was delivered with a design and build contract and the architects also delivered the interior design, which again is well detailed and popular with the students, despite having to operate the building through the pandemic over the last 16 months. This is a challenging sector to design in and this project deserves to be Building of the Year.”
As a regional winner, the project will be considered for the RIBA National Awards later in the year and we will find out if it has been shortlisted in September.
