The Guildford Society are pleased to announce the winners of the 2020 Design Awards. We are planning a virtual Awards Ceremony to be held later in the autumn.
In a difficult year because of Covid 19, which delayed some new buildings in Guildford from being completed. Peter Coleman Chairman of the Judging Panel commented:
“The Judging Panel was heartened by the high quality of the entries with a range of new developments and restoration projects happening in the Borough. The submissions demonstrated a range of good quality contemporary architecture and sensitively designed extension works to existing buildings.
All categories apart from Category One - Commercial were well represented. Sadly, we had no commercial buildings that merited inclusion in the long list for judging.
Our thanks to all who put forward properties for the Design Awards”
