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.”

Winner: Restoration of a Georgian Building in an Urban Setting

I'm very pleased to be able to post that this Monday at Christies in London I received on behalf of the Cockermouth Civic Trust from The Georgian Group an award for winner of "Restoration of a Georgian Building in an Urban Setting".

The award was in recognition of all the improvements to Cockermouth shop fronts since the floods. 15 shops so far have gone through major improvements as part of the grant aided scheme with the majority of them designed by me!

Strolling4Shoes - shop number 2

The New Shop at 35 Main Street


How it used to look


The success of Strolling4Shoes re-modelled shop at 29 Main Street has been so successful that they have now moved to new larger and more prominent premises on the corner of Main Street and Station Street.

I'm pleased to say it's yet another re-vamped shop I can add to my list (...and there are still more to come!).
