AJ Retrofit Awards 2023 final shortlists: Workplace

In the 12-strong Workplace up to £5 million category, the range of retrofits includes schemes by 5th Studio, Emil Eve Architects and HÛT. They also feature two new homes for architecture studios: Regent Studios Workspace; and 30a Great Sutton Street.

Henley Halebrown is shortlisted for a second year running in the Workplace £5-10 million category after winning in the same category last year for The Lazlo warehouse revamp in north London. This year’s contender is 98-100 De Beauvoir Road, another light-touch warehouse retrofit.

In the over £10 million category, The Rowe, recently completed by AHMM – a vertical extension of the former ‘Cass’ building in Aldgate East – and Entopia, Architype and Feilden + Mawson’s retrofit of a 1930s telephone exchange for the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, both make the list.

In total, 124 projects have been shortlisted for the 2023 AJ Retrofit Awards.

NB due to strike action by rail workers, the date of the Retrofit Awards event has changed. The winners will now be announced on the evening of 4 April 2023 at The Brewery, Chiswell Street, London. Register here for the event and to book your table.
