The Royal Institution of
Chartered Surveyors (RICS)
has announced the 2022
regional award winners
The Regional Winners for the UK Awards 2022 in the Heritage Project category have been
revealed with some of the most impressive recent building projects from across the UK on the list.
“The teams behind them have worked tirelessly and
with incredible vision to create projects which provide
tremendous benefit across a diverse range of areas.
Through collaborating with other professionals, local
surveyors have shown that they have the talent to deliver
exemplary and, in many cases, world-class built projects.”
The winning projects, which include historic places of
interest, including castles and halls; former jails turned
into hotels, and past private residences turned into
spas and hotels; private residential homes and student
accommodation through to sustainable schools and new
hospitals were judged across six categories, community
benefit, commercial development, public sector, refurbishment/revitalisation, residential, and heritage.
“The RICS is elated to recognise skills and dedication that
the teams behind these projects had in ensuring successful
delivery and making a positive impact across our country”
The RICS Awards showcase the most inspirational
initiatives and developments in land, real estate, construction and infrastructure. They recognise outstanding
achievement, teamwork and companies.
North East - Seaton Delaval Hall nominated by
Mosedale Gillatt Architects (below)
The £5.3m ‘The Curtain Rises’ project is the largest and
most ambitious National Trust project of recent years.
The completion of conservation works now set the scene
for the delivery of an exciting and innovative range of interpretation and exhibition installations that reflect the
Delaval family history and put the drama back into
Northumberland’s most flamboyant ‘party’ house.
The regional winners have now been shortlisted in the
national awards, taking place in October, and will
compete at the national RICS Awards Grand Final.
David Brook Wilson, FRICS, Chair of the RICS Awards,
said: “These winning projects are a true testament to the
hard work of property professionals in the UK. The
pandemic has led to the industry facing much uncertainty
and challenging conditions, but we were delighted, and
very proud, to see such innovative building projects
appearing across our cities and towns.
The property is Grade I listed and plays host to over 20
individually listed buildings. This project involved conservation and adaptation across the historic estate and
the range and nature of the works make this project an
exemplar of conservation practice.
