Surface Design Awards


43 projects from 10 different countries have been selected as Finalists for the 2023 Surface Design Awards, and we now have our Winners.
The Winners were announced at our Awards ceremony held at Surface Design Show in London on Thursday 9 February 2023.

The judges had over 130 entries to enjoy across 11 different award categories covering Commercial Building, Housing, Light + Surface, Public Building, Landscape + Public Realm, Temporary Structures and Architectural Photography.
From the outset the judges were looking for ‘a really strong approach to materiality’ and the need to ‘balance sustainability with innovative materials’.
Whilst the UK supplied the majority of Finalists there was the usual strong list of projects from India as well as Finalists from Australia, Canada, China, France, Latvia, Spain, Somaliland, and the UAE.
Practices with multi-finalists were Studio AVT Architects with 4; Emil Eve Architects and Brimelow McSweeney Architects both with 3.
The Architectural Photography Award, first launched in 2022, saw a strong increase in entries both from the UK and abroad.
