Recognised for their sustainability-first approach at the Royal Irish Academy of Music - RIAM, incorporating living green roofs, low-energy systems, and biodiversity-focused design.
Having enjoyed the experience of judging entries across all categories, I'm delighted to say the standard this year has been very strong. The projects showcased highlight the ingenuity and ambition within the sector, from sustainable developments and innovative uses of technology to exceptional architectural achievements and meaningful heritage conservation efforts. It's clear that the industry is not only rising to meet challenges like the housing crisis, but doing so with creativity and a strong commitment to sustainability.
