Piercy&Company lead by MArch DS16 tutor Stuart Piercy wins BD’s “Office Architect of the Year 2018” Award

Posted on May 14, 2018 by Mirna Pedalo

Congratulations to MArch DS16 tutor and studio leader Stuart Percy of Piercy&Company on winning this highly competitive and prestigious international award!

The “Office Architect of the Year 2018” recognises Piercy&Company‘s work across the sector; from new builds, to refurbishments, co-working, and occupier fit-outs.

The judging considered a cross section of our completed and in-progress office projects: The Copyright Building and 25 Savile Row, both for Derwent London; and Spring Place and Princelet Street, both for Brockton Capital/Fora. Common across these diverse projects is an engagement with the current shift in the types of spaces people want to work in; embracing a blurring of the once separate realms of home and work – of the informal and the formal.

DS22 student Anna Malicka was one of five outstanding MArch students to receive this year’s RIBA and the Wren Insurance Association award.

Congratulations!

The partnership between the RIBA and the Wren Insurance Association was established in 2013 to reward excellence in architectural education and support outstanding students as they embark on a career in architecture.

Five scholarships are awarded each year to outstanding Part 2 students who show excellent promise and drive to expand their horizons within architecture.

The £5,000 awarded to each recipient may be used in a variety of ways, from elaborating on an existing research interest to looking at how they might develop new ideas, or enabling time to scope different mechanisms and philosophies.
