2022 RIBA Yorkshire Building Of The Year Announced

 
Maggie’s Yorkshire by Heatherwick Studio has been announced as the 2022 Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Yorkshire Building of the Year.

To the benefit of all the patients who visit this Maggie’s, to all the staff who work there and to anyone who visits, the Architect has created a very special building, which addresses the client’s brief with full marks but moreover, has created a building with real heart and soul.

RIBA President, Simon Allford said:
“Winning a regional Building of the Year Award is a major achievement. Across the country projects have been selected for this accolade because they are exemplars of the very best of innovative, intelligent and delightful design. The results of positive collaboration between architect and client, and design team and contractor, they demonstrate that high quality, sustainable architecture can positively impact the lives of the people that engage with it. My warmest congratulations to all those involved.”


The RIBA Regional Building of the Year Awards were presented at a ceremony at the RIBA’s Headquarters in London on Tuesday evening.

Maggie’s Yorkshire is one of four projects which received a 2022 RIBA Yorkshire Award, announced earlier this month.

The 2022 RIBA Yorkshire Award winners were:

Carnegie School of Sport, Leeds, Sheppard Robson
Leeds Footbridge, Leeds, Gagarin Studio with DP Squared
Maggie’s Yorkshire by Heatherwick Studio

All RIBA Yorkshire Award winners will now be considered for a highly-coveted RIBA National Award in recognition of their architectural excellence, which will be announced in June. The shortlist for the RIBA Stirling Prize for the best building of the year will be drawn from the RIBA National Award-winning projects later in the year.

RIBA Regional Building of the Year is sponsored by Taylor Maxwell.
