Submissions invited
February 2016

SCHUECO UK, in conjunction with RIBA Journal, is continuing its sponsorship of the Schueco Excellence Awards for Design and Innovation and is inviting submissions for the 2016 competition.

Closing date for entries is midday on 4th April and the Excellence Awards Presentation will take place on 23rd June on the 42nd floor of The Leadenhall Building, aka The Cheesegrater.

Joe Morris, a director of Duggan Morris Architects, the first winners of the Special Merit Award for Overall Excellence in 2014, said: “Winning the Schueco Excellence Award continues to strengthen our collaborations with specialist contractors and influence our design process.”

Nine categories – commercial building; cultural building; education building; health building; refurbishment project; residential development; individual house; steel award; specialist contractor – ensure the widest possible coverage of the UK building industry.

The judges will be looking for submissions that demonstrate how creativity, innovation and build-team collaboration have delivered exceptional product solutions that help to realise original design concepts. The only stipulation for entry is that the building submitted should include at least one Schueco system.

The panel of judges for 2016 consists of Hugh Pearman, editor, RIBA Journal (chairman); Paul Monaghan, director, Alford Hall Monaghan Morris; Louise Cotter, director, Carr Cotter & Naessens Architects; Jose Silva Hernandez-Gil, associate, Duggan Morris Architects; Chris Macey, Group MD, Wintech Group and Steve Mudie, director, alinea consulting.
