Hide AdWorthing based architects ECE Architecture achieved an Award for the Lady Been Enterprise Centre in Southwick. The centre saw the complete redevelopment of a reclaimed parcel of land to provide small business units for local companies to rent. Submitted with Pilbeam Construction, Brighton, the judging team commented on this flagship project “impressive design and use of materials to create some first-class business units. Rare to see design flair expressed in what is essentially an industrial building”.
As seen in the winning projects this year, which saw 15 out of 24 Awards being presented to West Sussex projects.
There were a number of Awards given in the residential categories, highlights included: The Grange in Slindon (submitted by Victoria Holland Architecture, Burpham and RW Armstrong, Chichester), a Grade II listed village house with imposing stuccoed Georgian façade; a listed Sussex barn dating back to the 18th-century (submitted by Nicholls Countryside Construction, Kirdford) which is now used as a tearoom for the National Garden Scheme; a small but perfect extension on the back of a late 19th-century town house in St John Street in Chichester (submitted by fiftypointeight Architecture + Interiors, Chichester); and, the conversion of a Grade II Listed Mill in West Sussex (submitted by Jane Jones-Warner Associates, Chichester), which operated as a working mill until 1941 and is now a contemporary family home reflecting its industrial heritage.
The Landscape and Gardens category saw two winners of heritage importance. The Historic Stew Ponds Project at Arundel Castle (Head Gardener: Martin Duncan), probably of medieval origin, are part of a two-year project to showcase the biodiversity of the natural area into tranquil water gardens and the 60-foot-long Peach House Restoration at Gravetye Manor rescued from serious disrepair.Chairman of the Sussex Heritage Trust, Simon Knight, said: “This good news story demonstrates the importance of excellent architecture and design, traditional building skills and craftmanship and arguably without these the heritage we have in Sussex would be all the poorer”.
