HSSP Architects have been entering awards for the last few years and are delighted with the success we and our projects have had, especially with such fierce competition and exceptionally high standards within the awards. Our projects are varied, interesting and innovative, and span the architectural spectrum, as do our awards, which we have summarised below.
It was understandable but a great shame that the majority of awards were not held in 2020 because of the pandemic, so it was fabulous to be back celebrating again towards the end of 2021. With the latest variant taking hold, we are keeping positive 2022 will still be able to return to a full awards schedule.
One never knows what the judges are looking for and what other projects are within the category we have entered, so we always ensure our entry is informative whilst meeting all of the entry criteria, and then cross our fingers!
