More award success



Last Friday I was in Edinburgh to receive another award for the shop front works in Cockemrouth. Of the 52 short listed national and international projects (whittled down from 306) Red Raven Design was one of the winners of the prestigious Civic Trust Award for 'Community Recognition'.

Civic Trust Awards Managing Director, Malcolm Hankey said: “The Civic Trust Awards celebrate not only design excellence, but also the relationship between structures, places, the environment and communities. Winning projects have demonstrated architectural excellence whilst offering cultural, social or economic benefit to the local community. We are delighted to bring the 2012 Civic Trust Awards Ceremony to Edinburgh and would like to take this opportunity to thank the City of Edinburgh Council for their support. The event attracted hundreds of leading architects and built environment professionals to the historic city for a wonderful evening of celebration.”
